[Ovmsdev] GPS SMS Response

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Can people try that link on 'feature" phones?

http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?zoom=15&size=500x640&scale=2&sensor=false&markers=icon:http://goo.gl/pBcX7%7C22.305320,114.180168

vs

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=22.305320,114.180168

I suspect that the static map (image) would be less hard to display on feature phones, and the full googlemaps one would be better for smart phones.

Perhaps it could be a configurable feature switch?

Regards, Mark.
