Thanks for more info. I have the following google static map:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=51.5255 17,12.927633&zoom=14&size=600x600&maptype=satell ite&sensor=true

After running my program above by correcting size and window to 600 by 600,
I find that the image from the above link of google statics is enlarged in area and covers more portion of above/below, side-ways in comparison to the above link image. Is there a way I can provide the limits of lat-lon axis that I want to overlay on the google statics map? Can you please elaborate how the lat-lon axis is overlayed onto this google statics map for which the center lat and center lon are only provided with zoom factor? It would be of great help if you can provide me some information on this.

Thanks in advance
