title: Map distance to zoom in Google Static Maps
body: <p>I am using Google Static Maps to display maps in my AppleTV app. What I need is to somehow map a distance of e.g. 1km to the zoom parameter of the Static Maps API. </p>
  
  <p>In other words I have an <code>imageView</code> in which I wish to load the map image and if I know that the height of my <code>imageView</code> is 400px, and I wish for this map to show a real Earth surface of 1000m North to South, how would I tell the API to return me the map with this exact zoom?</p>
  
  <p>I found a very similar question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21601483/google-static-map-radius-to-zoom">here</a>, however no suitable answer is provided. </p>
