# How to get a static map of a specific position
<a name="get-static-map-specific-position"></a>

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
<a name="get-map-center-position"></a>

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
<a name="get-map-bounding-box"></a>

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
<a name="get-map-bounded-positions"></a>

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}`.
