I am trying to get as much DPI as possible, so I’m trying to zoom in as much as allowed. Here is a sample URL that I am requesting:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=38.951197173462866,-77.37383601263667&zoom=21&maptype=satellite&size=2048×2048&scale=2&key=MY_API_KEY

I want the bounds to be larger, and I haven’t been able to figure out how to keep the zoomed in DPI with larger bounds. I’m thinking of requesting the 8 surrounding images so that it’s a 3×3 matrix of images, and stitching those together as a composite. I haven’t been able to find a way to do this yet though, and I’m not sure it is the best path forward. How can I get a larger bound image with the highest DPI/zoom available?
