This new map service does not work for our company at all. We use the quick google box for roof shading analysis (we are a solar company). The satellite view for new mapbox is not as good as google. Now we have to take an extra step and click on the link to use google map.
I will have to figure out how to input a customer google box since nobody in my company likes the new mapbox.... :(

You can pull a Google Map image by creating a text formula field like so:
"Address" is just a default Address field.

"<img src= " & "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?" & "center=" & URLEncode([Address) & "&zoom=" & [zoom] & "&size=" & [width] & "x" & [height] & "&maptype=" & [type] & "&format=" & [format] & "&markers=color:" &[pin color] & "%7Clabel:" & [pin label] & "%7C" & URLEncode([Address]) & ">" In this case, I have all the parameters set up as fields on the record ("zoom", "maptype", etc.)--but you could hard-code those into the formula. Sounds like you want "satellite" as the maptype and a high zoom--I tested with 20 and it's pretty close to the roof."Address" is just a default Address field.
