Google Static Maps Problem

[jonathandlynch at gmail.com]

Hi Bill,

I am looking at your stack now. I don't see any place where you use JavaScript to get get the bounds from the Google maps API.

I think you would have to do it that way to get a reliable result.

That won't give you corners, exactly, but it will give you a minimum bounding rectangle that contains your map.

This isn’t much help when trying to find the lat/lon values of the corners of the image. That’s what I need. Neither the “bounds” parameters nor the “viewport” parameters change with zoom level. So, it doesn’t help when trying to get the corner lat/lons, which change with zoom level.
