Comment(by hamish):

 Hi,

 I have now written a script that takes your starting lat/lon and finds the
 grid coords of the nearest WMS tiles at the given lat/lon resolution
 (taken from a fixed list of server options), downloads the tiles, pnmcat's
 them together, and calc's the final bounding box of it all.

 Also I've done a script which does the same-but-different for TMS servers
 like OSM (technically should work for Google/Bing/etc maps too if the
 terms of use allowed that) into the spherical-merc funny-projection.

 before I invest the time to grassify them into addons, I'd ask if anyone
 else has already done it & if I'd just be reinventing the wheel.



 cheers,
 Hamish
 (missing r.in.onearth)
