Google Static Maps API - Google Code

The Google Static Maps API lets you embed a Google Maps image on your webpage without requiring JavaScript or any dynamic page loading. The Google Static Map service creates your map based on URL parameters sent through a standard HTTP request and returns the map as an image you can display on your web page.

Me likey, nice way to quickly embed a map into your web app without any javascript or API calls, just a simple IMG tag.
