title: Compressing Google Maps Tiles
body: <p>I'm looking for a way to compress the tiles from a Google Map (which I've already done) and then somehow replace the old tiles with the compressed tiles. This is how a tile looks in the code, for example:<code>&lt;img src="https://mts1.googleapis.com/vt?pb=!1m4!1m3!1i13!2i2475!3i3029!2m3!1e0!2sm!3i293208756!3m9!2sen-US!3sUS!5e18!12m1!1e47!12m3!1e37!2m1!1ssmartmaps!4e0!5m1!5f2" draggable="false" style="width: 256px; height: 256px; -webkit-user-select: none; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>The reason I want to do this is because Google PageSpeed Insights keeps complaining: </p>

    <p>Should Fix:
    Optimize images
    Properly formatting and compressing images can save many bytes of data.
    Optimize the following images to reduce their size by 245.2KiB (17% reduction).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>(And all of the images it wants me to optimize are from the map.) I haven't been able to find anything googling around, so I don't even know if it's possible to do what I'm asking. Any ideas?</p>
