Static maps are just that: static. They provide no interaction, since they really are just plain old images embedded in the browser.
However, you could add your own control to your page which, upon clicking, would request a *different* static map, zoomed in or out as needed. At that point, though, you'll probably want the ability to pan around, as well, so you might as well go with an actual implementation of a javascript API map. There are also options such as initially displaying a static map, and once the user tries to interact with it (or just after loading the page) the static map is replaced with the javascript map, but that's going to be more complicated than just a plain old interactive map. -G On Dec 4, 2009, at 11:48 AM, uafairbanks wrote: > Is there any way to add a zoom tool (the +/- ) to a static map.
