Description

Would be great if we could add a map from a url like this: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=-23.4978952,-46.6746017&zoom=14&size=956x300&markers=-23.4978952,-46.6746017

Great plugin btw 👍

Research direction
Review existing plugin code, especially the data generator for images (e.g., avatar or photo generators) to understand how external API calls are made. Look at the plugin's documentation for adding new data types. Add a new generator that fetches a static map from Google Maps using the URL pattern shown. Ensure proper handling of API key and dimensions. Consider adding configuration options for center location, zoom, and size.
