Google Maps plotting

This is a simple library for setting the background of a plot (e.g. of GPS coordinates) to be a satellite image. An example of how to use the library is here.

Set up

In order to use this library you need a Google API key (see instructions here).

Once you have your API key, you can use it by setting the environment variable GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY to whatever its value is. Alternatively, you can just pass the key to the APIClient constructor, though remember never to commit private API keys to a public Git repo!
