title: Highlight streets using Static Maps API
body: <p>I want to use the static maps API to highlight sections of streets on a map. The problem is that the map simply renders a straight line which sometimes goes off the street. Instead, I want it to highlight the actual street. I know I can use the google directions API for this but I'm rendering the generated map to a PDF so a static map seems like the logical choice. </p>
