Generate Static Map?

[Jake Wilson]

Google Maps has this sweet API, where you can generate a static map image, with markers and everything, from a URL:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/imageapis/

Example:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Brooklyn+Bridge,New+York,NY&zoom=13&size=600x300&maptype=roadmap

&markers=color:blue%7Clabel:S%7C40.702147,-74.015794&markers=color:green%7Clabel:G%7C40.711614,-74.012318

&markers=color:red%7Clabel:C%7C40.718217,-73.998284&sensor=false

Does Leaflet have any way to accomplish such a thing?  I would feed it map tiles, bounds coordinates, render various polygons and markers and stuff on the map, and then have it spit out an image of everything all together.  Is this possible?

I was wondering the exact same thing.

You could disable all controls when you define the map, e.g.:

var your_map = L.map('your_map', {
    dragging: false,
    touchZoom: false,
    scrollWheelZoom: false,
    doubleClickZoom: false,
    boxZoom: false,
    tap: false,
    keyboard: false,
    zoomControl: false,
    attributionControl: false,
    prefix: false
}).fitBounds([[49.5, 3.5],[51.5, 5.5]]);


same effect...
Cheers,
Olav

Hi,

I have the exact same problem but your solution does not have the same effect. When you call staticmap service, it only returns an image. When you disable all controls, you still have to load the leaflet.js. 

In my case, I have to improve the page weight. Loading a .js with all the linked tiles, this will add ~200ko to the weight however only loading the image will add ~20ko.

I'm still interested if someone have found a solution :)

Thanks,

Leaflet is a dynamic, client-side mapping framework, so no: you can't create static maps with it...

You have to use a web service like that from Google, Bing, MapQuest or similar ones.

Actually my first answer isn't completely true: you could create your own web service using something like PhantomJS and Leaflet running on a web server. This requires quite some knowledge and a dedicated web server where you can install your own software.
