google-map-static-image-generator

v0.0.4RubyGems· Ruby

google-map-static-image-generator is a Ruby wrapper around the Google Maps Static API that generates PNG map images on the fly — no JavaScript required. Features: - Add custom markers at any coordinates - Draw paths with custom weight and colour - Apply map styles (hide labels, change colours, etc.) - Set center + zoom for marker-free maps - Choose map type: roadmap, satellite, terrain, or hybrid - Default 1024x1024 at scale 2 (retina-friendly) - Raises GoogleMapStaticImage::ApiError on non-200 responses (invalid key, quota exceeded, etc.) Useful for generating map thumbnails in emails, PDFs, admin dashboards, and anywhere an interactive JavaScript map is not practical.
