We have done something similar. What we do is save the bounds when we create the map. Then you know the exact size and latlong span of the map. This can be easily used to calculate pixel position by deviding the latlong span by the amount of pixels.
Example: http://www.denhaag.nl/home/bewoners/to/Wonen-in-de-binnenstad.htm You can try out the tool to create one at: http://www.denhaag.nl/home/Den-Haag-op-de-kaart.htm use the button "kopieer deze kaart" and select a view with markers, then press next ("volgende") and klik example ("voorbeeld"). The top one is interactive, the bottom is static. 2009/10/29 David <[email protected]> > > Hi, > > I'm writing an application that uses the static maps, and intend to > overlay points on the static maps at their latitude longitude > locations (without using the built in marker functionality). > > I have min/max longitude/latitudes of the set of points, so from this > I can calculate a value for the center parameter.
