This is definitely it. I deleted the 89 limit I had put and reduced
the precision of my coords, and now I can use 100 points.......

thanks Ross.
Is the limit "about 100 points" or "exactly 100 Points"? Because all
my tests lead me to think that the limit is more around 89.f ....

Maybe you are running out of room to put all the parameters into a
limited URL querystring
cheers, Ross K

That really looks like an issue I didn't think about at first. I will
look deeper into it, reducing the precision of coordinates. I don't
know exactly how MobileSafari behaves regarding the length of IMG tags
but 2048 looks like a limit I'm able to reach quite fast...

Thanks! Cyril

I read in the API documentation for static maps that there is a 100
points limit for any given path.

Is the limit "about 100 points" or "exactly 100 Points"? Because all
my tests lead me to think that the limit is more around 89.f ....

If that's the case, could you please change the doc. Otherwise, feel
free to tell me I'm wrong and point me to live examples, so I can
understand what's wrong with my code.

Thanks,
Cyril
