Hello to all,

I am working on an Ignition Report, and I want to add a map image with a custom polygon to it. I used the Google Maps API to obtain the image, but I am unable to display that image in the Ignition Report. Is there any idea on how to show a map image with a polygon on it?

Example URL of the Google map Image:  
([https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=43.6532,79.3832&zoom=16&size=500x300&key=API\_KEY](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=43.6532,79.3832&zoom=16&size=500x300&key=API_KEY))

Thanks,

The Reporting module is separate from Perspective and Vision so those tags are probably not appropriate. Use the `reporting` tag instead.

Thanks for the reply.  
I am using the Reporting Module to create a report, but in that module, when I use a Maps Static URL to display an image, it's not loading.
