Tadas Tamosauskas is writing on the Svbtle. September 7, 2014. What if Software was advertised as groceries?

https://tadas_t.svbtle.com/how-to-get-a-high-resolution-image-from-google-maps
Tadas Tamosauskas is writing on the Svbtle. July 29, 2015. How to get a high resolution image from Google Maps. Someone I know has asked me if I there is a way to get a high resolution image of a map for research. There are many legitimate applications of this information, but make sure you’re not breaching Google Maps/Earth terms of use. You can save high resolution images by embedding a huge map to an empty HTML page and using a browser extension that cab capture a whole website. Get the embed code.
