Issue TIMOB-20092: iOS: Need ability to generate static image of map for the specified coordinates
In the Map module, there should be a method to return a static image of the map for the specified coordinates. Google Maps API has the capability ([Static API|https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/intro]) and it seems the Apple Mapkit might also have the feature now. This request is fairly urgent and would be easier to implement, I hope. Just want to point out that the "toImage()" method isn't good enough. I'm trying to use it, and although it works fine for a previously loaded map, it doesn't work at all if I only have the coordinates in the code and want to get the image in the background without having to load the map view itself (which takes time).
