Generating Google Static Maps

LDMax uses this key to generate google maps during producing printable pdf outputs. The Google Static Maps API lets you embed a Google Maps image on your web page without requiring JavaScript or any dynamic page loading. The Google Static Maps API service creates your map based on URL parameters sent through a standard HTTP request and returns the map as an image you can display on your web page.

Revised Oct. 04, 2018: Static Key and Google Javascript Key can now be the same.
