OpenStreetMap (openstreetmap)
============================

API
---
OpenStreetMap creates and provides free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them.
The project was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical
restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive, or unexpected ways.

Google - Static Map (experimental/google EXPERIMENTAL)
======================================================

This is an attempt to use static Map API, but it does not work well
right now.

API

The Google Static Map service creates your map based on URL parameters
sent through a standard HTTP request and returns the map as an image you
can display on your web page.
