Basic Static Map

## Add a Marker You can add a single marker by including the marker parameter as a JSON object representing a coordinates for the location: ```html Map with marker ``` **Result:** A 600 × 400 pixels map with a Marker in the middlle.

Static Map with Marker

## Add a Polygon You can add a single polygon geometry by including the polygon parameters as a JSON object representing the coordinates of the geometry: ```html Map with a polygon ``` **Result:** This displays a map centered on The London Eye and the Jubilee Gardens (UK), with a polygon representing limits of a theoretical “Summer event” area in pink.

Static Map with Polygon

To limit size of URL and avoid error with URL interpretation, `shape` value should be an encoded string of an encoded polygon. ## Add a Polyline You can add a single polyline geometry by including the polyline parameters as a JSON object representing the coordinates of the geometry: ```html Map with a polyline ``` **Result:** This displays a map centered on The London Eye and the Jubilee Gardens (UK) with a polyline representing a path between the London Eye and the close by *Pret à Manger*.

Static Map with Polyline

To limit size of URL and avoid error with URL interpretation, `enc` value should be an encoded string of an encoded polyline. **You're all set!**
