Convert google.maps.Map to a static map link

Question

Is it possible to convert the currently viewed google.maps.Map map into a static image link so that I can get the image and, for example, paste it into a PDF?

I add some markers with custom map icons, so I'm not sure if this is really possible. If not, are there any labor shocks?

Thanks!

This is not allowed. See here:

Use of Google Maps images in printed materials and offline media in accordance with the Permission Guide published at:

http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html

you can request permission, but I don’t think it’s easy to get it if you are not a billing business client.
