how about

C#

string mygoogURL = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Berkeley,CA&zoom=14&size=400x400&sensor=false";
string myfilename = "c:\\mymap.png";

new System.Net.WebClient().DownloadFile(mygoogURL,myfilename);
pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(myfilename);

take a look at the link below for more map options
