Initial value for drawing a capture of google maps satellite

[Lukevancleave]

I'm making an App for drivers in our fleet to leave notes about customers for each other.  I was wondering if there was a way to capture a frame from google maps based on the Lat/Long of a location (kind of like how appsheet does this in the Card view header but with a satellite image).  Then to use that as the initial value for a drawing column for that location.  That way drivers can draw paths into locations and circle buildings to deliver to.  I know how to set an initial value for the Drawing but was wondering if anyone had any insight into generating this satellite snapshot. Thanks

It sounds that you are trying to capture a static image of the map for a certain area around a given latlong value. This image you would like to display as a background image in a drawing type column.

I believe that is currently not natively possible in AppSheet to capture an initial image in a drawing column based on given lat long values.

However you could try to use a small Google AppS Script based bot that uses Google's map service Google Apps Script- Maps Service 

to create a PNG image that loads as an initial value image in the drawing type column.
