The Static Maps API is also a great way to keep the page load snappy especially when showing maps on a mobile device.

If a user wants to interact with the map I put an overlay on the static map saying “click/tap to interact” and inject the maps script with the callback parameter specified so we can asynchronously load the map titles and interaction abilities only if the user requires it.
