Define map image bounds

Position the map image based on bounding box (bbox) or bounds parameters to define the geographic area that the image should display.

The default parameter values in this example generate the following map images:

• For the bbox parameter, the default request generates a static map of Liberty Island, New York, in the bbox:{southwest_longitude},{southwest_latitude},{northeast_longitude},{northeast_latitude} format.
• For the bounds parameter, the default request obtains a static map that shows Warsaw, Prague, and Budapest, in the bounds:{latitude1},{longitude1},{latitude2},{longitude2}, ... {latitudeN},{longitudeN} format.

You can generate the map image by using the default or customized parameters. You can also add padding (with available values between 0 and the lower image dimension value/4) to specify the amount of space or margin (in pixels) around the map edges to prevent specific map features or areas from being cut off or obscured.
