Tools>Combine Images, will output a *.bmp. Whew that was tough. Maybe instead of exploring the interface I'll just write a bitchy review slamming this overly complicated free software.
pcs800: Ya, copying and pasting 4 numbers from http://www.gorissen.info/Pierre/maps/googleMapLocationv3.php
(another free tool) is finger-numbingly difficult. This software also doesn't do my dishes or laundry, I give it a -3.
Second: If you have the time to take hundreds of screenshots and then tile them in any image editor then go for it. This app may save you weeks of toil |

If I do a screen save, then it's just screen resolution. I wanted it for printing! It saves in some stupid gmid format.
It is supposed to come with a "combine" program that converts to bitmap. That's missing.

Second, why would I buy this rather than take screen shots with any freebie, and then combine them in any image editor? |
