Google Maps Saver

Ever experience that you are lost in town and people giving so many directions to your destinations??? I just found a tool that you might be interested.. Google Maps Saver.. You cannot find local map at the airport.. Not everybody have a GPS with them.. some people might have a phone with a GPS function.. but due to bad reception.. still no clue.. make it worst the local cannot speak english.. Lonely Planet might help.. but might attract the attention which I dont like..

Believe me.. I've lost once in Paris.. after getting out from the train station.. keep walking for one hour looking for the hotel.. asking people for the location.. at the end found the hotel .. just 5 minutes walk to the station.. we walk to the opposite direction!!!..


Thank God I found this utility to download the Google Maps and save it in JPEG format for offline viewing.. FYI Google Maps needs internet connection to function.. but with this utility.. no worry.. you can bring the digital format and view it later using your phone.. works best if you are using a phone with big display.. you can define the zoom level.. the file size is also reasonable..
