Graham net3x The most simple form of map image is like

<img src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?zoom=16&size=190x190&center=new+york&markers=label:Marker|new+york" alt="map" />

so use the same code and set the "center" and "markers" to the same value
The value should be url encoded
you can use almost anything as the "center" value and Google will try and interpret it as a location
