    Hi

    Y! has a Maps Image API that returns the image of the map when the location/coords are specified. This is exactly what I want. Unfortunately, Y! doesnt cover many locations and the the max zoom level (12) is mostly unavailable for India.

    Google Maps provides more details but Im looking for an API that'll return the image only instead of the entire JavaScript stuff.

    Is that possible with Google ?

    Thanx

    No. That's a yahoo only feature. I ran into the same issue a few months ago. If you really want to do something, you could use gd/imagemagick to sew the tiles together, but it wasn't worth it to me at the time.

    I imagine SOMEBODY has done it and has a script.

    Hopefully Y! Maps provides data to closer zoom level soon enough. Google has always been fast on data quantity.
