Latest version 1.4
Changes in 1.4:
- Put the different maps into a new toolbar where you can manually select which one(s) you want. You can also specify a custom download URL should the Google servers change
- You can download and stitch from multiple sources (e.g. map/satellite/terrain etc) all in the same operation.
- You can save the stiched images into sub-folders if you want to. - Re-wrote the stitching tool to use a different image library (CxImage). Successfully tested a MASSIVE 24000 x 19000 satellite download, should be big enough for almost everyone
- New 'Hybrid' map feature where you can download the transparent hybrid layer of Google maps (the one overlaid over satellite images)
- You can input your own custom maximum map size (because 21 appeared for some areas - I'm sure higher ones will appear soon)
- Please ignore the new latitude and longitude figures on the toolbar - I believe they are very incorrect. If someone knows of an algorithm to translate google map tiles to long/lats that works please let me know - I translated an algorithm I found on the net but its not working.
Changes in 1.2:
- Who knew there were 19 zoom levels, wow. Changed program to use 19.
Changes in 1.1:
- Allowed access to global Google map sites (China, Japan, Taiwain) for language specific city names without the English equivalent
- Corrected drawing of rectangle so that you don't always have to drag from top-left to bottom-right
