-Using the [generic camera platform] you can present any image on the internet as a camera. Starting release 0.27 these URLs can also be based on a template. This example uses this functionality to point a generic camera at the Google Maps static image API and pass in the location of a device.
-
-As of June 2018, Google has changed the API limits for static maps. You now need to have a Google Maps API key. Instructions for registering a key can be found  [here](https://github.com/googlemaps/google-maps-services-python#api-keys). Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with the key you registered.
-
-It also leverages the `limit_refetch_to_url_change` option to ensure that we do not make a lot of requests to the Google Maps API.
