Static map with lines or polygons

To add lines or polygons to your static map, specify coordinates of the individual path vertices as comma-separated lng, lat pairs. To get the coordinates, use our Coordinates finder tool.

You can add multiple lines by using the path parameter several times. Separate the vertices by a pipe symbol |.

Specify styling before the path coordinates using key:value format:

• fill – Fill color: red, rgba(255,255,255,0.5), #0000ff (default: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)). To draw lines without fill, set the fill property to none or false.
• stroke – Stroke color (default: blue)
• width – Stroke width in pixels (default: 1)
• shortest – Draw the shortest paths, crossing the dateline if needed.
• enc – Path encoded with Google Encoded Polyline Format (optional):
  • Example: _p~iF~ps|U_ulLnnqC_mqNvxq@
  • If used, the rest of the path parameter is considered to be part of the encoded polyline string – do not specify the coordinate pairs.

You can also use fill, stroke, width and shortest as separate query parameters to specify default styling for all the paths.

Examples

Use a line to indicate how to get from a parking lot to a restaurant:

Use a polygon to highlight a real estate property:
