maps.static_map() uses return response.iter_content() which does byte-wise chunking which does not give a good performance

The cause is: iter_content() defaults to chunk size of 1 cf. https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/api/#requests.Response.iter_content

Describe the solution you'd like
Perhaps chunk_size=None would be better Performance
