That doesn't look like a static map url to me.

If yes then how? Not on a static map. Static maps are static and offer no functionality. They are a single composite image. > 3) How do I collect the lonlat within the map for any of the mouse > events like click, mousemove?

To get some interaction you can use a Javascript map (which you don't want to do) or a Flash map. See http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/flash/ -- note that the Flash API has its own Group (referenced from that url). But to get some interaction with your map you WILL need to do some coding, whichever dynamic API you choose. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
