Grabbing Map Image

[RichieMcMullen]

Is there any easy way to grab the ride map using the "polyline" code returned from the API ?

At this stage it seems impossible to successfully get the map. Any ideas on this ?

You could use the Google static maps API to display the polyline.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=600x300&maptype=roadmap&path=enc:GIVE_YOUR_POLYLINE_DATA&key=GIVE_YOUR_API_KEY

You replace the GIVE_YOUR_POLYLINE_DATA with the polyline from the api and the GIVE_YOUR_API_KEY with the google maps static api key. You could also change the size and maptype if you want. This will generate a small static map that shows the polyline. I think that is the best way to generate a map from the polyline. Here's a preview of what that would look like

Hope this helps you?

Excellent I'll try that this evening. Cheers.
