Google Static Maps
• Upsides– Relatively quick– Good for including in blogs etc
• Downsides– Can only do a one or a few individuals– Not that customisable

• Upsides– Quite easy to do– Interactive – eg zoom in, look at labels
• Downsides– Quite a bit of typing (though can copy and paste)
– Not so good for printing– Limit of 200 points (so fewer recoveries)
