problem:
Obtaining a map of a city that is detailed enough to be showing individual neighborhood streets. Think of a detailed Thomas-Guide as the purpose.
I have tried:
Using google maps.
taking screenshots from my phone, and printing it out. though, for a larger area than the phonescreen lets you see, by scrolling to the side, taking another screenshot and placing the two images lined up side-by-side repeatedly. Then stitching multiple zoomed in pictures together.
It is almost impossible to keep all the screenshots the same proportion as each other because one slight zoom-in or zoom-out changes the entire scale from lining up with those around it correctly, and it takes a VERY long time of trying to put together one screenshot after another precisely, whether taping paper together or using photoshop to line them up before printing.
Google maps API programming:
- I got advise after contacting google maps in an attempt to print a detailed map of a city, to use google cloud to code/customize my desired perimeters (zoom level and size), but have no idea how to code or where even to enter the parameters when I tried.
