“[C]reating a large map-grab isn’t as easy as it once was. Google used to provide a method, called an API, through which programs could request a section of map. A handful of products were designed to use this API in order to request and download large numbers of map areas, and then stitch them together. Sadly, Google no longer offers this service so those programs no longer work. But if you’re willing to put in a little effort, you can still achieve the same effect.
You’ll need 2 programs on your PC. One to take screen grabs and save them onto your computer, and another to stitch those images together into a larger image by automatically detecting any overlapping sections. For [his] own purposes, Rob.Schifreen chose Greenshot as the screen shot grabber, and Autostitch to put the images together.”
