OK - my mistake.  I should have used the term "juxtaposition" instead
of "stitching".  Either way, it must occur in the browser with static
map images sent directly from Google's server.  An intermediate server
to reassemble static map images is illegal.

Either way, serj, check with an attorney.  Both Andrew & I are
speculating on what might be legal.  "juxtaposition" or "stitching" or
whatever else you call it is feasible but it may not be legal.
