Hi Using static maps on a java (swing) app is possible. You just need to form your request URL by using the appropiate modifiers.
My goal is being able to create a real time scrolling map with static maps. I don't care about not having a mouse drag&drop system for scrolling, so for making it simpler i'll use a 3x3 grid, that is, i will allways have a central map, and another one all around. Once the upscroll button (for example) is clicked internally it will go up, will request other 3 maps (the line over current top one) and will release the bottom line. This way you get a similar result, good enough for me right now. The problem here is being able to form the request for all the 9 maps. It's easy to request the central one, using a custom/predefined starting location and dimensions, but the problem appears with the other 8 maps. Depending on your location and the desired zoom level is there any way to calculate the correct center location for all of them? Furthermore my idea is having a client/server scheme, where a few (maybe many) clients will connect to the server, which provides GPS positions and all the map stuff, so in the end there's only 1 client from google maps' point of view. According to this if you get a key (free or premium) if i'm not wrong it won't be related to any website, because there's no source website here. What about daily limit check in this scenario? How can this be solved? Maybe some extra stuff must be added to the http request (some header, for example) so google maps identifies it as the right source website related to your key?
