I should add, you need to use Screen Grab (fix version) since the original screen grab no longer works. And you use the url labelled “Paste HTML to embed in website”, copy into notepad, adjust the Iframe height and width e.g. set it to 2000 by 4000, then rename as html, open in browser and use the zoom feature and drag to the right position. You can then Screengrab the whole image.

I concur, very good method, thanks (you go to the top left of what you want to capture, click the button for a link to the map, adjust the pixel size in the url, use that url and use the screengrab firefox addon to capture the image)

Took a while to realise that Ptgui can only see files types such as Jpeg, but managed to get a brilliant A1 drawing once the files were the same size.
Thank you

Thanks Anonymous! Using the iFrame solution was MUCH easier!! BTW – It also works with Bing Maps, which don’t automatically turn on the Bird’s Eye (slanted) view. The Satellite view is much nicer for large maps.

use iframe with required “width” and “height” to open maps.google.com in needed size and use some web-screen capturing tool.

I think stitching the several captures together was for me the easiest way to have an easy overview with all the information.
In a more ideal world, i would have the nokia N95, but unfortunately; i don’t have the money to do so..

It is needed to copy “Link to this page” info from google site, paste it to program and program captures map at desired resolution. It is not good with current digital urban example, since it does not have “link to this page” option. Program can be found at http://mapbuilder.by.ru/
http://mapbuilder.by.ru/mapbuilder161.zip

the only disadvantage is, that program is in russian language, BUT when you open program it has only one field for pasting link from google maps “link to this page”, and big Ok button.
