Hi,
   don't think this is currently possible so think of it as a feature
request.

Could you add a new output format for static maps that would be the
json representation of an HTML <map> for the image requested? That way
we could have marker popups on static maps.

eg. the following url.
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=200x200&maptype=roadmap&markers=color:blue|label:L|51.8744430542,-0.366388887167&markers=size:small|color:green|label:M|40.4736099243,-3.56111121178&markers=size:small|color:green|label:M|45.6316680908,8.72777748108&sensor=false

If I could run a second query that has format=map which would return
something like

{"markers":[[0,0,4,4],[45,45,49,49],[5,45,9,49]]}

I could then create the corresponding <map> and <area> tags.
Just thought it would be a cool feature. I use static maps a lot but
sometimes you need "just a little" more interaction.

I could do this myself if I did the centering and zoom calculations on
my side and projected from lat,lon to x,y but it's so much easier to
leave the heavy lifting to Google :)

Atli.
