Google Maps Images Downloader is a very simple Windows software solution that can automatically download Google Maps and create large images that can be stored on your computer.
Basically, the program downloads small tile images based on the coordinates you provide and then combine them into a single and larger photo.
The interface, which otherwise is pretty easy to use, prompts the user to provide left and right longitude and top and bottom latitude, but also define zoom level and threads count. Just pick the path to save and you're ready to go.
Once the files land on your computer, you have the option to combine the images and thus create a large photo, but Google Maps Images Downloader also provides some other extras.
For example, there's a dedicated tool to download just a single image, but also a so-called “Satellite Images Viewer” to check the coordinates you've provided in the main window.
The “Options” menu gives you the power to set up the application to work with a proxy server, choose the file name format, and define some default setting such as zoom level, threads count and path to save the files.
It's no surprise that Google Maps Images Downloader runs on low computer resources and should be able to run on all Windows workstation, as soon as it's connected to the Internet in order to download data.
As a conclusion, Google Maps Images Downloader is a handy software solution and although it comes with a price and thus scares away some users, it serves its purpose quick and easy.
