Hi Rossko Leach, Thanks for your reply.
So since I require some interaction with my map for functionality like "Identify Feature" both of you are of the opinion that Static Maps is not the way to go. It should be either Javascript Map for Flash Map. Point noted.I accept your suggestion. The Url that I had given you is not a Static Map API URL. But I want to display that kind of a map with multiple map types. So which API should I use given that the Static API is allowing me to specify ONLY ONE Map type in a single call.
