title: Is there a Google Maps equivalent to mkmapsnapshotter?
body: <p>I have a <code>UITableView</code> which may potentially contain a large number of cells, and in some cells I want a <code>UIImageView</code> showing a map of a location, the coordinates of which are known only at runtime.</p>
  
  <p>I want the table view to scroll smoothly and I want the maps in the cells to not be scrollable at all.</p>
  
  <p>I've been directed to avoid Apple Maps. Besides, <code>MKMapSnapshotter</code> is iOS 7 and up. I have to support iOS 6.</p>
  
  <p>So is <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/imageapis/" rel="noreferrer">Google Maps image API</a> my best option?</p>
  
  <p>I'm already using the <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/" rel="noreferrer">Google Maps iOS SDK</a> anyway, so I'd like to use it for this if possible. But does it have this feature? An equivalent to <code>MKMapSnapshotter</code>? I'm surprised I can't find it in the documentation.</p>
