REQUESTED FEATURE: Aerial Image and Unit Pixel Ratio Handled Programatically

[youralien]

The following steps grabs an aerial image of an intersection (specified by cross streets) and also calculates the unit pixel ratio from the zoom level

I played around with the Google Maps API and I think this is possible using the following steps

# get geolocation
# request: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Great%20Plains%20Ave%20and%20Chestnu%20St

# define zoom level
# i.e. zoom=21

# use zoom to grab aerial satellite image
# request: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Great%20Plain%20Ave%20and%20Chapel%20Street%20Needham,%20MA%2002492&zoom=21&size=640x640&scale=1&maptype=satellite

# use zoom to define meters / pixel ratio

# 156543.03392 * Math.cos(latLng.lat() * Math.PI / 180) / Math.pow(2, zoom)
