The workflow
Coordinates. Image. Document.
Request the image server-side.
Set the dimensions, marker colour and map style your template needs.
Embed the returned bytes.
Place the JPEG in the report itself, so it remains available independently of an external image URL.
One request
A map your generator can use.
curl -H 'LicenseKey: YOUR_KEY' -o map.jpg \

Check it at the size people will read.
Readability
Check the street names, marker and attribution at the final page size, including a black-and-white print.
Resilience
Decide how the report behaves if the map request fails. Avoid a broken frame or a document that cannot be generated.
File size
Choose image dimensions for the document. More pixels are only useful when they improve the output at its intended size.
