Do you have a valid Google-Maps API Key?

I used this

='http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center='

num(var_mid_lat, '##############', '.', ',' )

','

num(var_mid_long, '##############', '.', ',' )

'&zoom=$(var_zoom)'

'&maptype='&var_maptype

'&size='&map_size_x&'x'&map_size_y

'&sensor=false'

You can see it in my dashboard "test2"

its has definitley to do with missing API-Key.

I inserted my API-Key and it works.

So you will have to sign up for getting Google Maps API key.

Then it will work.

So if you got your Googlemaps API Key, you will have to enter the API Key inside script. (See Variable gmap_key = 'PASTE YOUR API KEY HERE')

and in Chart use this Dynamic Image expression:

='http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=' & num(var_mid_lat, '##############', '.', ',' ) & ',' & num(var_mid_long, '##############', '.', ',' ) & '&zoom=$(var_zoom)' & '&maptype='&var_maptype & '&size='&map_size_x&'x'&map_size_y & '&sensor=false'&'&key='& gmap_key

see here:

https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/static-maps-backend.googleapis.com

You will have to sign up and also entering your payment infos but you will get a monthly 200$ voucher and only

if you are using this service really excessively then it will cost something for you!
