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.

This code was copied from my RCM code which uses the Tesla pin. I liked it better then a standard pin.

The fully zoomable map might indeed be better then a static picture.
Feel free to modify the code, or if there is enough demand, we could change the code ofcourse.

I notice that the SMS response to the GPS yields a gigantic link to a static
map that can't be zoomed or panned. This makes it very difficult to figure
out where the car is if you don't happen to recognize any of the features
shown in the map.

I prefer a simpler link that takes you to a fully functional map:

    http://maps.google.com/maps?q=52.042460,-3.944089

Also, I'm also not a big fan of the Tesla logo for the pin, but I have an
unusual history with the company that may be coloring my attitude on that.
