title: Plot google map as background
body: <p>I want to display Google map and I use this code :</p>
  
  <pre><code>url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=-30.027489,-51.229248&amp;size=800x800&amp;zoom=14&amp;sensor=false"
  im = Image.open(cStringIO.StringIO(urllib2.urlopen(url).read()))
  plt.imshow(im)
  plt.show()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this gives me:<a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zjshO.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zjshO.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Which I don't understand</p>
