    Google (and Local.Live) Maps Download 0.2a

    A user friendly version of what scripts do (needs Microsoft .net 2 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/).

    To do:
    - substitute blank images when zoom level unavailable
    - google hybrid by combining satellite and transparent
    - fully functional map test screen

    screenshot:

    source and exe (in /bin/debug/):
    http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/gmdl2.zip

    Now all I need is to build myself the GPS cable...

    It works well! although I can't quite figure out how zooming works. How do I set it to download for example, up to 8x zoom?

    EDIT::: Nevermind, I figured out the zoom options

    in7ane: good stuff, but there are a few bugs...

    I think, you must set width and height to 2 in order to get correct tilesets overwise you'll get alot of extra tiles...

    For now, if anyone want's to use this app you need to do following:
    1) Browse to the location at the hightest zoom that you want to see on your map.
    2)Select map type
    3)Select Advanced option.
    4)Click get numbers button
    5) put 2 in h&w boxes
    6)may change min zoom, since the bigger your zoom range the bigger the map size will be...
    7)may see the preview
    8) click pull files

    Thanks for the guide! The program works really well and is very fast and downloading. Lets hope google don't spot this as they have shut down a few scraping tools before

    Thanks for pointing out the bugs, I've made the changes to comply to the 2x2 top level zoom format (a better/automatic preview is now in order).

    So, once again:

    As for Google, I am not a member of their API program, and this does not use the API (it uses the links obtained from the web page), I do not see how this is any different from the cache in your browser (and Firefox's look ahead). And since it is you the user that compiles and runs it, this is little different from the scripts.

    That it a very good point Kudos for creating it.

    Any chance of improving the preview pane a little? Sometimes the 4 preview zoom tiles end up showing no roads and make it difficult to decide if we have set the zoom level high enough.

    Maybe we could select which areas we would like to view a close up on? Kind of like how the google mini-map works
