Static Maps are static. They don't zoom: you specify a fixed zoom level (12 in your case). To change what is shown you need to get a new image with a different zoom. If you don't know what zoom level you need, leave out zoom= and use visible= to specify points which must be included in the image: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/#Viewports That example uses addresses, but you can use lat,lng pairs instead of each address if that's easier. http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=34.979279,135.9052435&size=800x800&markers=color:blue|label:P|34.979279,135.905243&sensor=false&visible=30,135|35,136 (The Groups interface may break that: if that happens, try http://tinyurl.com/28bze6m instead). That map shows your marker, but also ensures that coordinates (30,135) and (35,136) are visible, setting the zoom accordingly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
