If you want to download some map location from Google Maps, Bing Maps or any other map service, Map Puzzle is just what you need! It will allow you to save your map locations into high resolution images (jpg, gif, png, bmp, tiff) The only thing you need to do is to enter GPS coordinates or address by GeoCoding, hit "Download" and you are done! The map has been saved into to your computer.
It works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Requires no installation and its FREE. The name Map Puzzle is probably a bit misleading, it can make you believe that this is some kind of game. It came from the idea of putting together all those small map tiles into one large Map, a little bit like putting a puzzle.
Addons:
Add Scale Lines - This setting adds lines both horizontal and vertical, which shows the distance on the map to give you something to refer to. Add X To Mark Coordinates will add a red X mark on the exactly given GPS coordinates. The mark will NOT always be in the exact center of map since Map Puzzle is working with tiles. Each tile is 256x256px, so the mark will be somewhere within 256 pixels from the center. Generate World File is used by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to georeference raster map image.
