GWT Google Map (Static and Dynamic)

In my project, my client want to use Google map.
I had put the Google Map V3 but due to poor internet connection, the retrieval time is very slow. They want to use static map.

I decide to create an option for them to choose whether to use dynamic or static Google map. To change between dynamic and static just simply change the instance.

The dynamic map, I use a library from http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-maps-v3/

SitemapPanel.java

package com.vcari.jscadav2.client;

import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.LayoutContainer;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.Element;

public abstract class SiteMapPanel extends LayoutContainer{

    @Override
    protected void onRender(Element parent, int index) {
        super.onRender(parent, index);
    }
    
     public abstract void setMapCenter(Double latitude, Double longitude, int zoomLevel);
}

SiteMapStaticMapPanel.java (Static Map)
This solution is working for GWT 2.4. Please refer to my new post below for solution. http://peyotest.blogspot.com/2011/09/gwt-24-static-google-map-in-frame-not.html

package com.vcari.jscadav2.client;

import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.layout.FitLayout;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.Element;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Frame;

public class SiteMapStaticMapPanel extends SiteMapPanel {

    public SiteMapStaticMapPanel(){
        super();
    }    
    
    Frame frame = new Frame();

    @Override
    protected void onRender(Element parent, int index) {
        super.onRender(parent, index);
        setLayout(new FitLayout());
        setBorders(false);
        add(frame);
    }
    
    /**
     * Set map center to the defined latitude and longitude
     * @param latitude
     * @param longitude
     */
    public void setMapCenter(Double latitude, Double longitude, int zoomLevel) {                
       Integer width=this.getWidth();
       Integer height=this.getHeight();
       String url="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center={0},{1}&zoom={2}&size={3}x{4}&maptype=roadmap&sensor=false";
       url+="&markers=color:red7C%{0},{1}";
       url=String.format(url, latitude,longitude,zoomLevel,width,height);
       url=url.replace("{0}", latitude.toString());
       url=url.replace("{1}", longitude.toString());
       url=url.replace("{2}", String.valueOf(zoomLevel));
       url=url.replace("{3}", width.toString());
       url=url.replace("{4}", height.toString());
       url=url.replace("{5}",  Application.areaName);
      
       frame.setUrl(url);
    }
}
