Google Map static vs Dynamic business and buildings view

Question

I have a problem when i try to display a static map that display all elements

for example:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?&zoom=18&size=640x640&markers=color:red|40.7191413,%20-73.9973273

In it i can't view any business and buildings.

If i display same map with same zoom in google maps or in any other application that dsplay dynamic map i can view them.

For example:

https://www.google.it/maps/place/40%C2%B043%2709.1%22N+73%C2%B059%2751.0%22W/@40.7191413,-73.9973273,18z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0

I have read this faq:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/faq#no_pois and tryng to apply it in this mode:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?&zoom=18&size=640x640&markers=color:red|40.7191413,%20-73.9973273&style=feature:poi.business|element:all|visibility:on

but don't work I's a limit of Static Map o what?

Answer 1

The Static Map API typically shows fewer points of interest compared to Google Maps or the Maps JavaScript API. This is working as intended, so unfortunately you can't do anything to get more POIs to show up.

You can consider using the Google Maps Embed API which might better meet your needs.
