Maximum URL size

[PedroFabrino]

According to Google's documentation for Static Map, the max size for url is 8192 characters, https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/intro#url-size-restriction.

But, when building an static map with gm.staticMap(params),
I get the following error:
Error: Request too long for google to handle (2048 characters).
at module.exports (.../node_modules/googlemaps/lib/utils/makeRequest.js:63:13)
at module.exports [as staticMap] (.../node_modules/googlemaps/lib/staticMap.js:116:10)

It's thrown an error before making a request for google, so it's internal.

Could it be fixed? Or should I make a fork for doing so? Or is there a reason as not working?

if there are only 2045 chars and the lmit is 8192... why is it throwing this error at all?

[PedroFabrino]

Because the error is being thrown by the node-googlemaps, and not by google itself.

Yes i am facing same problem. I created an issue also for the same.

In the /lib/requests/contants.json file it has the max values listed as 2048.

We could up that to 8192 and solve the issue.
