Custom Google Maps Downloader

There are numerous applications you can use when you want to quickly download a map of a certain geographical area.

However, when you want to customize some of its variables, a specialized solution is needed, such as Custom Google Maps Downloader. You can choose the feature type of map you are interested in, such as administrative, landscape, road, transit, water or POI, then define the element type and the styler.

The main window of the utility comes with an intuitive and user-friendly look, meant to encourage even those with very little PC experience to enjoy its feature set.

You need to start by entering the coordinates for the map you want to grab - note that you need to mention both the left and right longitude, along with the top and bottom latitude.

You can assign the current task a name, so you can easily identify it from any other ones you might create in the future. As soon as you selected a folder for the downloaded maps, you can start the process and sit back and relax until it is finished.

As you would expect, Custom Google Maps Downloader also includes a module that makes it easier for you to explore the grabbed maps.

Moreover, you can combine several maps into a single one, then export the result to BMP, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, SGI or IMG. You can generate an ECW file if you are dealing with less than 4000 tiles or to a KMZ file that you can load in your Garmin GPS  device (up to 500 tiles are supported).

To wrap it up, Custom Google Maps Downloader can help you get the maps you are looking for with a minimum of effort, especially since it even allows you to convert degrees, minutes and seconds to degrees with a single mouse click.
