Google Maps Without the Scripting

I am a regular user of Google Maps API, and I plan to put some map mashups on this blog in the future. But this new service provides a much simpler way. It is so easy that I decided to try it now.
Here is a simple Google map zoomed on to my working place. The red pushpin shows the approximate location of my office.


The tag below is used to generate the map:
<img src="http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center=13.73705,100.5321
&markers=13.7370,100.5321,reda&zoom=15&size=400x300
&key=my_map_api_key"/>
