[ gpsdrive ] gpsfetchmaps and google maps??

Hi,

Looks good, particularly if you are looking for maps covering a small area.

The biggest advantage of using a script running on your own computer is that 
you can set it running and then go of and do other things.  This is 
particularly relevant when considering that to cover all of Australia at zoom 
13 it's >36000 images (with 1% overlap).  It took about 7 days to generate 
them all.

When finished you just copy all the map files and map_koord.txt to the 
computer or folder that you want to use them on.



Cheers
Ross
