title: google static maps api returns blue image
body: <p>I try to get the satellite example to work:
  <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/</a></p>
  
  <p>The url for the request is (with the correct API key...):</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?maptype=satellite¢er=37.530101,38.600062&amp;zoom=14&amp;size=640x400&amp;key=API_KEY
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the result:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5QLND.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5QLND.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Where the expected result is:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/GGj57.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/GGj57.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I checked the coordinates: 37.530101,38.600062 with google earth and they should bring me to the expected result.</p>
  
  <p>If I look in the google developer console then I can see the requests are made.</p>
  
  <p>If I try this one for example (with the key).</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Brooklyn+Bridge,New+York,NY&amp;zoom=14&amp;size=512x512&amp;maptype=roadmap&amp;markers=color:blue%7Clabel:S%7C40.702147,-74.015794&amp;markers=color:green%7Clabel:G%7C40.711614,-74.012318&amp;markers=color:red%7Ccolor:red%7Clabel:C%7C40.718217,-73.998284&amp;sensor=false&amp;key=
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I do get an image.</p>
  
  <p>Why doesn't the first one work?</p>
