OK, so that's a dead end..... I was hoping there was some way to get
thumbnails from Google. I guess I don't understand the logic, but as
it's Google's data, they make the rules. :-)
So is anyone aware of a legal way to get thumbnails (images of around
240x120 px or smaller) of satellite images based on lat&long?
