sometimes the screen view image in google maps may not be enough... sometimes a bigger google map image with a bigger coverage area with maximum zoom level view is required. doing screen captures of multiple maps viewed in google maps and merging them later in photoshop can do the trick. but isn't that too cumbersome?  what to do? head on to gMerge: http://gmerge.2ni.net/index.phpQUOTE gMerge is a python script that merges Google Maps satellite "tiles" in order to produce a wallpaper (or even a poster!). type in an address of the map you want to capture, set the size of the image output (choose from a variety of sizes), choose magnification leval (from 0-nearest to 14-farthest), submit query, then wait for the image to magically appear tiled in a matter of seconds! can't think of an address to type in? pick any from the latest findings at googlesightseeing... some weird map images appear when you choose from the dropdown menu available. (these are the types i want to make a wallpaper out of - the envy of anybody who would care take a peek at my desktop. )

This sounded really cool, but, unfortunately, it appears that the site is down already after a direct order from google. Less than 2 whole days after you posted and it is already down!

You can see their point though, in the small window they have on google maps you can't really use the inage in a business presentation. But if it were stitched together and made available then you might use it for comercial purposes, and most business people aren't that good with photoshop, and wouldn't be able to stich the screen shots together, let alone make screenshots. I do llike how they said Volintarly remove it, Microsoft would have just jumped in with a law suite!

QUOTE The Google Maps team recently noticed your Google Maps tile "stitcher" wallpaper maker at http://gmerge.2ni.net/. Google is always happy to see developers interested in our products and we commend you on the service. That said, we would appreciate it if you voluntarily remove your service and stop using Google Maps on your web site. The service violates the Maps Terms of Service available at http://www.google.com/help/terms_local.html, and jeopardizes our ability to make Google Maps available to the public because it encourages non-personal use of Google Maps. If you have any questions or concerns, or if we have contacted the wrong people, please feel free to contact me directly. Otherwise, please let us know as soon as possible when the service has been removed. Thanks, Bret Taylor Product Manager, Google Maps Ouch...! But what's wrong with their site? What were they doing anyway that violates the Google Terms of Service...?
