Thanks Andrew... I think this is definitely a problem. Something changed in their API because zoom=0 used to be the entire earth and it would work properly... Overall the API seems really flaky right now.. If anyone else has experienced this and a work-around, I'd appreciate any thoughts. This was working perfectly not too long ago. I used to be able to provide a path, visible attributes and google would do a decent job calculating the zoom level for me.. Now unfortunately, many of my use cases do not work. I just provided one of them with center=0,10 as a simple example of the problem. There are others. I was hoping maybe a flag to turn on the way things used to work or some other arguments that might need to be added.
Can anyone provide a static URL to make this work: http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?maptype=satellite&sensor=false&size=260x260¢er=0,10 at zoom level 0 (whole earth)? Look what happens if I change the size: http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?maptype=satellite&sensor=false&size=640x640¢er=0,10 Definitely not what I would expect! :) Thanks again!
