Amit, with the new scale=2 param which is used by default, you actually get a 1280x1280 image, which gives a much nicer rendering (though responds somewhat slower...)

Kart - I think there is a problem with the API key mode. It seems like Google ignores it since the requests have no referrer field in the HTTP header. Will try investigating it for a solution.

Scale is a great idea, and quite easy to implement. I'll try adding it when I have some time.

Just noticed they changed the API and introduced the API key again.
It doesn't say what's the limit if you don't use any key, but from a quick test it looks like it's 400 per day (per IP I guess).

If you do get your own key, you can use up to 25,000 requests per day. I'll try to upload a new version soon with an easy way to put your own key.

Hi Marco,

This function uses Google's Static Maps API, and is therefore perfectly legal. It's also limited to 1000 map requests per day as specified in the API. See:

Thanks, Seb. It is a wonderful tool.

My mistake, had an old version, updated one works like a charm!

It seems to be incompatible with pcolor. Matlab can plot with both pcolor and plot_google_map, but when the plot is saved as an image (as any format such as png), the background google map is gone.

Hi there,
Does anyone has any problem with that script recently? It was running smoothly until today.
??? Error using ==> imread at 387
Unable to determine the file format.

Error in ==> plot_google_map at 189
[M Mcolor] = imread(filename);
