Hi, I need to take several image copies from Google Earth for a project, to make up a larger image, by that I mean zooming in to say 500 Metres above the location, -“Copy Image” and drop it into Photo editor, move the view in G’Earth up a screen length and take a second image copy and repeat -I’ll then join the images together to make a single detailed image.
But It’s going to take ages! at about “500 Metres high”, to cover the area I need, is going to take maybe a dozen if not more screen shots.
Just wondered if there was any way to make it simpler, if not quicker, is there a way to say, zoom out and view the whole area I require, mark it out / select it (as you might do when selecting a portion of an image) then trigger off a download or generate a detailed image of the area as selected?
It’d no doubt take time, but so much easier than me taking multiple screen shots!
I’m guessing probably not… but thought I’d ask ~ just in case 
many thanks.

i would have no idea how, of even if it is possible, but Google
publishes application programming interface (API) info that might let
you stitch together a java program to do exactly what you wish…see here:
http://code.google.com/apis/earth/documentation/
or, maybe someone else has already done that…i’d guess you might find
more help on this project in a google forum…should be one or more
referenced on that page…
