The API needs to run via a website because of the key restriction. Static Maps are restricted by the Terms to be viewed in a browser. Therefore in your email, you need to include a link -- either to a website page, or to a static map. In webmail, a link to an image like a static map will normally result in that image being displayed; if your email ends up in a mail client (like Outlook or Pegasus) the recipient will be able to click on the link and view the image in a browser. To get an interactive map you do need to host it on a site and send a link to that. http://econym.org.uk/gmap/linktothis.htm It also means that you are not emailing very heavy emails -- all your recipients receive is a link they can click on at their leisure.
