Google Static Maps Problem

Folks: I’ve found a way to display an image of a google static map, in my app. It’s quite easy and well-documented. However, I need to get the lat and lon values of the corners of the map, at the displayed zoom level. There is a simple-looking javascript example for doing this at:

I thought it was about making the engine do it. Still, I take your point that many arguments will require a lot more typing. If it's that much of a chore, how about an array building pallet stack, where you type an array name, a series of keyname/value/hit enter sequences and it builds the code
