Hi, Loading the PNG from www.vicinitynyc.com/mapsatt is a bug that we're working to fix. If you file a bug in the external issue tracker, we'll update it with progress.
In the meantime, it looks like your PHP script isn't forwarding the request as you describe: http://www.vicinitynyc.com/mapsatt?id=http://www.vicinitynyc.com/maps/UnionSq.kmz&f=_agse669e0e8005449db80a6b5e75b0be482.png returns a 404. http://maps.google.com/mapsatt?id=http://www.vicinitynyc.com/maps/UnionSq.kmz&f=_agse669e0e8005449db80a6b5e75b0be482.png returns the PNG file. Once the bug is fixed, I strongly recommend removing this forwarding logic as it may cause problems in the future if we change the URL format.
