RussellReal Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 mapquest? I'm sure if you put "Image provided by MapQuest" they won't sue you.. they've got more important things to do with their time.. like enjoy jello shots with the newest escorts in their local neighborhood while cruising in their 35billion dollar corporate jets in the back by the full fledged bar table with a dressed up 12,000 dollar an hour bartender.

salathe Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Google provide static images though I am not certain of the terms of that particular API. Also perhaps look into using OpenStreetMaps data.

thewooleymammoth Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 awesome thank you. mapquest? I'm sure if you put "Image provided by MapQuest" they won't sue you.. they've got more important things to do with their time.. like enjoy jello shots with the newest escorts in their local neighborhood while cruising in their 35billion dollar corporate jets in the back by the full fledged bar table with a dressed up 12,000 dollar an hour bartender. if it were my personel site i would probably consider something ike that, but in this particular case i think that would look a little too unproffesional to me. Did i post this in the right forum? i wasnt sure.
