Answer 1

I just tried out this, and it worked like a charm:

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.net.URL;

import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

public class Snippet {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        JFrame test = new JFrame("Google Maps");

        try {
            String imageUrl = "http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center=40,26&zoom=1&size=150x112&maptype=satellite&key=ABQIAAAAgb5KEVTm54vkPcAkU9xOvBR30EG5jFWfUzfYJTWEkWk2p04CHxTGDNV791-cU95kOnweeZ0SsURYSA&format=jpg";
            String destinationFile = "image.jpg";
            String str = destinationFile;
            URL url = new URL(imageUrl);
            InputStream is = url.openStream();
            OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(destinationFile);

            byte[] b = new byte[2048];
            int length;

            while ((length = is.read(b)) != -1) {
                os.write(b, 0, length);
            }

            is.close();
            os.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(1);
        }

        test.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon((new ImageIcon("image.jpg")).getImage().getScaledInstance(630, 600,
                java.awt.Image.SCALE_SMOOTH))));

        test.setVisible(true);
        test.pack();

    }
}

Whats behind lp2_1 actually, if you dont get the map on you panel, this control could be the problem.
