[OpenLayers-Dev] Capturing an image of an annotated map

[Bill Woodall]

Hi Ed,

I take it, that from your steps that you want a static map.  Am I
wrong ?

You would need to verify Googles TermsOfUse [1], but I would think that
as long as their Logo, Copyright, and Terms of Use were on the image,
you would be fine.

The Image could be a GeoTiff so MapServer could serve it up.

As for Image capture, I prefer GIMP[2] for capture, crop and edit.

.......Bill,
