google-static-map

The simplest way to generate static google-maps images from a location. This package is just a thin wrapper around googlemaps which does the real work ;)

install

npm install google-static-map

usage

simple

var fs = require('fs');
var gm = require('google-static-map').set('google-console-api-key');

var stream = gm().address('Apple Store, 5th Avenue, New York').staticMap().done();
stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('test.png'));

advanced

var fs = require('fs');
var gm = require('google-static-map').set('google-console-api-key');

var stream = gm()
  .zoom( 5 )
  .resolution( '600x600' )
  .maptype( 'roadmap' )
  .address('Apple Store, 5th Avenue, New York')
  .staticMap()
  .done();

stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('test.png'));

with gulp (and json config file)

var source   = require('vinyl-source-stream');
var gm       = require('google-static-map');
var jsonedit = require('gulp-json-editor');


gulp.task('google-static-maps', function() {
  return gulp.src('config.json')
    .pipe(jsonedit(function( json ) {
      list.forEach(function( entry ) {
        gm()
          .address( entry.address )
          .staticMap()
          .done()
          .pipe( source( entry.filename ))
          .pipe( gulp.dest( entry.path ));
      });
      return json;
    }));
});
