Solution 1
the reply of @Ankit is right, but @Alexsander asked in Swift, so :
var staticMapUrl: String = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?markers=color:blue|\(self.staticData.latitude),\(self.staticData.longitude)&\("zoom=13&size=\(2 * Int(mapFrame.size.width))*\(2 * Int(mapFrame.size.height))")&sensor=true"
var mapUrl: NSURL = NSURL(string: staticMapUrl.stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding))!
var image: UIImage = UIImage.imageWithData(NSData.dataWithContentsOfURL(mapUrl))
var mapImage: UIImageView = UIImageView(frame: mapFrame)
for swift 4
let staticMapUrl: String = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?markers=\(self.finalLatitude),\(self.finalLongitude)&\("zoom=15&size=\(2 * Int(imgViewMap.frame.size.width))x\(2 * Int(imgViewMap.frame.size.height))")&sensor=true"
let mapUrl: NSURL = NSURL(string: staticMapUrl)!
self.imgViewMap.sd_setImage(with: mapUrl as URL, placeholderImage: UIImage(named: "palceholder"))
Solution 2
NSString *staticMapUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?markers=color:blue|%@,%@&%@&sensor=true",self.staticData.latitude, self.staticData.longitude, [NSString stringWithFormat:@"zoom=13&size=%dx%d",2*(int)mapFrame.size.width, 2*(int)mapFrame.size.height]];
NSURL *mapUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[staticMapUrl stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData: [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:mapUrl]];
UIImageView *mapImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:mapFrame];
This should help.
Solution 3
Try this. Note you have to get API key from Google cloud
let API_Key = //Your API Key.
let url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Brooklyn+Bridge,New+York,NY&zoom=13&size=\(2 * Int(imgBanner.frame.size.width))x\(2 * Int(imgBanner.frame.size.height))&maptype=roadmap&key=\(API_Key)"
let mapUrl: NSURL = NSURL(string: staticMapUrl)!
self.imgBanner.sd_setImage(with: mapUrl as URL, placeholderImage: UIImage(named: "palceholder"))
Always check the link in browser to view whether it is working fine or not means in the image is visible or not.
Solution 4
Using Swift 3:
let lat = ..
let long = ..
let staticMapUrl: String = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?markers=color:red|\(lat),\(long)&\("zoom=13&size=\(2 * Int(cell.imgAddress.frame.size.width))x\(2 * Int(cell.imgAddress.frame.size.height))")&sensor=true"
let url = URL(string: staticMapUrl.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed)!)
do {
let data = try NSData(contentsOf: url!, options: NSData.ReadingOptions())
cell.imgAddress.image = UIImage(data: data as Data)
} catch {
cell.imgAddress.image = UIImage()
}
