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.
