Re: Build Wall Map from Google Map Tiles

I love this little gem. Especially because I hope to use it to print biking trail maps around my locality. I could not figure out how to specify the center point location for the maps - either as zip code or address. Is this do-able? The google maps URL does not seem to include the location info.

I'd love to use this to create my own map but I do not know how to "run" the script. is this something that can be pasted into a notepad and i change the filename to .exe or soemthing along those lines? I would also like to know how to adjsut the zoom level. It looks like it is going to start at the lowest level possible but i would like it a little higher. Also, same question, How do I start centered in one place to make sure that I get the actual area that I want?	[reply]

1) Not exactly; you need to install Perl, copy the script, and then test it. Then you may well have to revise it, to deal with the changes at big-G since the beta about which OP was talking was G's 2005 state-of-the-art-and-API. 2) Sorry, I dunno. 3) likewise... But thanks for your interest. If you wish to follow my answer to 1), this is a great place to start. Take a look, for example, at Tutorials.	[reply]
