Hello. I have search all over the web for a simple answer to this question. So, I am posting here as a last resort before rejecting Google Maps as an option. FWIW, I have used the Google Com API before until support was removed. I recently switched over to programming using the Bing Maps Rest Serivces API. The Bing Maps REST API provides the exact functionality that I need. However, in many global areas I prefer the imagery available in Google Earth. When it comes to returning images centered around a Lat/Long coordinate, the Google Static Maps API seems to provide the exact same functionality as the Bing REST API from a coding standpoint. However, the Bing REST Services API allows you to request image information also (returned as XML or JSON). I have not found a simlar support mechanism with the Google Static Maps API. I would like to have the potential to use both map services as needed. For Google images, I really would like to use the Static Maps API. However, I need the ability to calculate the image extents (lat/long coordinate boundaries) associated with a returned image. The Static Maps API documentation at the link below would leads me to believe that no such capability exists. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/ Any assistance on this matter would be very helpful. The Google Static Maps API provides exactly what I need. But, I need the ability to compute the image boundaries associated with the returned image. Does this capability currently exist with the Static Maps API in either free (public use) or commercial use formats ? Thank you very much in advance.
