I'm creating Google Static Maps with a path between markers and have come across certain coordinate combinations that break the path.
The path breaks in this example (markers @ Beijing, SF, NY, Azores, Rome): http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?path=color:0xff0000cc|weight:3|39.904214,116.407413|37.77493,-122.419416|40.714353,-74.005973|38.721642,-27.220577|41.89052,12.494249&markers=39.904214,116.407413|37.77493,-122.419416|40.714353,-74.005973|38.721642,-27.220577|41.89052,12.494249&maptype=terrain&sensor=false&size=640x404 And works in this example (marker @ Rome removed) http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?path=color:0xff0000cc|weight:3|39.904214,116.407413|37.77493,-122.419416|40.714353,-74.005973|38.721642,-27.220577&markers=39.904214,116.407413|37.77493,-122.419416|40.714353,-74.005973|38.721642,-27.220577&maptype=terrain&sensor=false&size=640x404 The cause is not crossing over the Greenwich Meridian as I initially thought. It breaks even if I add a marker before that, seemingly any a point East of the automatically calculated centerpoint of the map...but only when the path starts on the other side of -180 longitude. To prove that, you can see that the Beijing, SF, NY, Azores, Rome path displays correctly when I set the map centerpoint to -170,35 http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?path=color:0xff0000cc|weight:3|39.904214,116.407413|37.77493,-122.419416|40.714353,-74.005973|38.721642,-27.220577|41.89052,12.494249&markers=39.904214,116.407413|37.77493,-122.419416|40.714353,-74.005973|38.721642,-27.220577|41.89052,12.494249&maptype=terrain&sensor=false&size=640x404¢er=-170,35 Unfortunately, I can't programmatically set center like this because I never know the collection of points I'm going to get, and it would be next to impossible to detect that the passed points would cause a line break.
