How to show a satellite view using Lat./ Long. jQuery getLocation?

I have the geo-location portion working in my app.  I can get a Google Map drawing of the coordinates.  What I would like to do is be able to show a satellite view of the image.  I have looked through...

That worked like a charm, though I had to remove the semicolon.

I looked in the Google Maps API again now that I know exactly what to look for, and sure enough there was my answer (said with self frustration).

Here is the final formula I used:
If([Latitude]=0,  "Location Not Found!",  "<img src=" &   "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?"&  "center="&[Latitude]&"+"&[Longitude]&  "&zoom=17"&  "&size=400x400"&  "&maptype=satellite"&  "&markers=color:red%7Clabel:%7C"&[Latitude]&"+"&[Longitude]&">")

Thanks!

    Weird, not sure how that semicolon crept in. Glad you got it working!
