How to get a static map of a specific position
In this topic, you will learn how to retrieve static maps from Amazon Location Service based on specific parameters. You will learn how to generate a static map for a center position, a bounding box, and a set of bounded positions. The examples provided will help you customize the width, height, and style of the map.
Note
You must pass either map or map@2x when generating a static map.
Get map image for a center position
In this example, you will create a map image with a width of 1024 and a
height of 1024 with the center coordinates set at
-123.1143,49.2763, where longitude=-123.1143 and
latitude=49.2763, and a zoom level of 15.
Get map image for bounding box
In this example, you'll generate a map image of Southeast Asia by setting the bounding box for the area.
The bbox format is
{southwest_longitude},{southwest_latitude},{northeast_longitude},{northeast_latitude}.
Get map image for bounded positions
In this example, you will generate a map that covers several must-see places in Paris, each specified by its coordinates (longitude, latitude). The bounded positions include: Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, Sacré-Cœur Basilica, Luxembourg Gardens, Musée d'Orsay, Place de la Concorde, and Palais Garnier.
The format for bounding positions is
{longitude1},{latitude1},{longitude2},{latitude2} ...
{longitudeN},{latitudeN}.
