Assuming that your app is set as the default, try:
<img src="/static/images/map420x200.png" style="border: 2px; width:420px;
height:200px;"/>
otherwise:
<img src="/myapp/static/images/map420x200.png" style="border: 2px; width:420px;
height:200px;"/>
If you leave out the leading slash, the browser interprets the URL as being
relative to the current page, which is not likely to be right (unless the
current page is / or /myapp).
However, you're better off letting URL handle the details for you, especially
if you ever enable URL routing. You can pass your style argument to IMG by
renaming it _style, or use <img... and embed URL in that:
<img src="{{=URL(...)}}"...
