I want to print medium to high resolution maps that I've made with the Google Maps API. My understanding is that I can do this if I use the OpenStreetMap as my base layer, with my own content on top of it (kml files, custom tiles, markers, etc).
Does the Google Maps API have a width/height limit of around 1000 pixels by 1000 pixels? After this limit it just shows a single colored background. (Note: I googled this topic and didn't get any relevant hits). If so, what is the best way to create a high resolution map? Is there a way of automating it so I don't have to copy and paste 10-100 images? I have a dual monitor - so I could get a screenshot that is closer to 1000 pixels by 2000 pixels. I could: -grab screenshots and copy and paste -rewrite my code to work entirely on OpenStreetMap (I really don't want to do this, because it seems like unnecessary duplication of work) -create multiple google maps that would display in divs next to each other, or in different browser tabs -create some kind of javascript/php code to automate this? I want to start off doing 8.5x11, but eventually be able to do 20 x 30 inches. At 300 pixels/inch that would be 6000x9000 pixels (54 copy and pastes). I want to create multiple maps, so this would be a ton of copying and pasting. I should probably be doing this in a regular GIS program (ArcGis or QuantumGis), but most of my data is in MySQL - not in a GIS friendly format. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
