How can i generate Walking or Driving static google map

Question

I am trying to create a google map using the static google map API. I want walking and driving static map.

I am trying to show the map by just using the path : http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?maptype=roadmap&zoom=14&size=400x250&markers=color:green|label:A|30.7261629,76.7596221&markers=color:red|label:B|30.7226447,76.7681678&path=color:0xff0000ff|weight:3|30.7261629,76.7596221|30.7226447,76.7681678&sensor=false — user2940248, Sep 09 '15 at 10:57
Can you modify this path in such a way that it can generate a map with driving route from A to B. ? — user2940248, Sep 09 '15 at 10:58

Static map api support only marker not direction.

If you want to use direction with Static map, you need to use direction api.

Basically what the up-voted answer is saying:

1. Use direction api to get encoded path.
2. In static map use this encoded path.

May be due to the characters in enc : in path – user2940248 Sep 10 '15 at 13:03
