Satellite Maps about gmapcatcher HOT 16 CLOSED

After testing/downloading satellite images for a while I was no longer able to 
get
any more images, and when visiting the link:
http://khm3.google.com/kh?v=36&hl=en&x=0&y=0&z=0

it shows a 403 Forbidden message (page attached)

Google might have some kind of "quota" for the satellite images, we need to 
research
more into that... 

This might bring some light...

function getTileUrl(baseUrls,tile,zoom)
{
    var i=(tile.x+2*tile.y)%baseUrls.length,
        numSaltGrains=(tile.x*3+tile.y)%8,
        salt="Galileo".substr(0,numSaltGrains),
        middleSalt="";
    if(tile.y>=10000&&tile.y<100000)
        middleSalt="&s=";

return[baseUrls[i],"x=",tile.x,middleSalt,"&y=",tile.y,"&z=",zoom,"&s=",salt].jo
in("")
};

I tested the "getTileUrl" function but no success, after a while it stops 
downloading
and I get the 403 Forbidden message.

I added a new CheckBox that will be display the satellite images
to see this check box you need to create a new folder(sat_tiles) in the 
.googlemaps 
folder

Full path:
%userprofile%\.googlemaps\sat_tiles

Today I've been using the Satellite feature a lot! getting the images with the 
interface and also with the download utility, all seem to be OK!

version 0.054 now includes Satellite & Terrain maps!

hello,
i'd like to use the satellite feature (version 0.090) but the google maps quota 
produces a "403 forbidden" after a while.
is there a way to avoid this behaviour?
thank s a lot...

Unfortunately there is no way around the "google maps quota", not yet, if find 
any way 
please let use know.
What I usually do is to use the batch download to get all the tiles at once, 
before the 
quota kicks in.

hi,
what do you exactly mean with "batch download to get all the tiles at once" and 
how do 
you realize that the quota has been reached?
thanks again...

Right Click on the Map and menu should come up with some options
http://gmapcatcher.googlecode.com/svn/wiki/GMapCatcher-v0.054.gif
click on the "batch download" that is the same as clicking on the download 
button.

 If you are running directly from the source you could use the "download.py" as 
instructed in the main page.

 I realize that the quota has been reached when the "tiles" (PNG images) are no 
longer downloaded.

Maybe we are suffering from this limitation:
Use of the Google Static Maps API is subject to a query limit of 1000 unique 
(different) image requests per viewer per day.
