Map Puzzle

Map Puzzle is a lightweight tool that was specifically built for helping you download Google Maps, Bing Maps or maps from other services. Since this is a portable version, you can copy the program on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you want to download maps.

The user interface is clean, and it doesn’t take a lot of time to get used to working with this tool. You can select the map service from a wide range of options, as well as provide the GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, degrees, minutes, and seconds) and pick the cardinal point.

It also features a preview option which displays the coordinates of a specific location, by simply moving the mouse cursor over a specific area. Moreover, you can make the program automatically save the selected coordinates.

Another important feature that is worth mentioning is the possibility of configuring the image settings before actually downloading the photos. You can pick the width and height, and enter the pixel value in the dedicated dialog.

It is also possible to save the maps to the following file formats: PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP and TIFF. The application keeps a log which displays details about the downloading process and possible errors, but it cannot be exported to a file.

During our testing we have noticed that the program is able to carry out a task quickly and without errors throughout the entire process.

To sum things up, Map Puzzle proves to be a reliable software application that manages to download maps easily. Thanks to its straightforward layout and useful features, it appeals to beginners and experts alike.
