Is there any way to capture the image from a complicated Google Maps with some customize overlays like heat gradient. See figures:
Google static map API can only generate static maps(images) with simple polylines or markers, in my situation this is apparently not enough, I want user to capture this kind of images and share it in there twitter fb of g+
see Google Maps image?, it is a similar question. But not so useful in my situation

It's not allowed. See here:

Use of Google Maps imagery in printed materials and offline media is subject to the Permission Guidelines published at:
you can request permission, but I don't think it's easy to obtain, unless you are a paying business customer.
