MTK Static Maps

===

What is it?

---

2 things:

 1. a small bit of javascript to take the same query string parameters as given to the Google Static Maps API and render a map using the BBC's Mapping ToolKit.

 2. a tiny Sinatra service to proxy the map to a screenshot tool and to cache the results. This should mean that for every unique URL requested, it will only need to be generated once.

 

Tests

ADD CENTER AND ZOOM TO END OF QUERY STRING OTHERWISE THE MARKERS DON'T APPEAR.
