Build static image maps using Google's Static Map API
gem 'static_map'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install static_map
image = StaticMap::Image.new({
size: '500x500',
sensor: false,
markers: [],
maptype: 'road',
zoom: 8,
title: 'A map',
alt: 'Alt text for img html',
path: './my-map.png'
})
image.url
# => http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=500x500&zoom=1&sensor=true
image.to_html
# => <img src='http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=500x500&zoom=1&sensor=true' title='' alt=''/>
img.save # save map to disk with path optionThe options are
- center String - center the map around this location
- zoom Integer - zoom level of the map
- size String - in pixels of the image. 500x500
- sensor Boolean - autodetect user location

- maptype String - type of map (satellite, road, hybrid, terrain)
