Static Maps

You can easily make a static map using GMaps.js:

url = GMaps.staticMapURL({
  size: [610, 300],
  lat: -12.043333,
  lng: -77.028333
});

$('<img/>').attr('src', url)
  .appendTo('#map');

You must define a size and the latitude and longitude of the map's center.

Note: You also can define zoom (by default is 15).
