Using a little programme called gMapMaker you can capture any Google Map region for use by OziExplorer. Enter the co-ords for the top L corner and bottom R corner of the region you want, select the format you want to save (eg PNG, or in the case of the sample below JPEG), choose the magnification you want (15 in the sample below) and click save. It automatically generates the .map file need by Ozi too. It also generates maps useable by MacGPS Pro, so Mac users can run moving map software without tooling around with emulation software look Parallels.
I find the 'Terrain' view in 15 magnification as useful as 1:25,000 maps. It makes the 1:250,000 maps look very low res. I was very excited by this and thought some others might be interested too. Image Could Not Be Found
