`GetMap.bbox` <- structure(function
### Wrapper function for \link{GetMap}. Query the Google server for a static map tile, defined primarily by its lat/lon range and/or center and/or zoom. 
### Multiple additional arguments allow the user to customize the map tile.

  MINIMUMSIZE = FALSE, ##<< reduce the size of the map to its minimum size that still fits the lat/lon ranges ?
  RETURNIMAGE = TRUE, ##<< return image yes/no default: TRUE

  verbose=0, ##<< level of verbosity
