In principle, yes. In practise it will prove more complicated. As I mentioned before - imagegrabwindow(), which would require PHP 5, and would only work on windows could theoretically be used, though I havent attempted it with google maps myself and am not aware of anyone having tried. See http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagegrabwindow.php for more information. HOWEVER - I'd rate your chances of google giving you written permission as extremely slim, and you'd probably need multiple permissions not just from google but also the data providers who actually "own" the content like TeleAtlas etc. Even then, imagegrabwindow() is one of the most awkward pieces of code to use in a consistent,reliable and useful way and requires a fairly advanced understanding of code to implement. Depending on your knowledge of the code I would rate your chances of getting it working as even slimmer than getting permission.
My advice is to save time and not investigate the image/PDF concept any further. If you want to make something that is easily printable then simply design a page that is constrained into a size that would print neatly onto paper, this is what most exisiting websites do in these situations. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
