Download images from Google Earth
It is possible to view and download high resolution satellite georeferenced images and conventional maps submitted by such services as Google Earth, Google Maps, Bing Maps, DigitalGlobe, Yandex, Yahoo! Maps, VirtualEarth, OpenStreetMap with SAS.Planet free program, Downloading maps is implemented as a release area (possibly non-rectangular), and in the process of moving around the map. Maps are updated frequently – the program will allow you to download only the new ones.
One advantage is having georeferenced images to use in ArcGIS, gvSIG, QGIS, Erdas, ENVI, etc.
The first step is to download and run the latest version of application SAS.Planet (no installation required).
Browse the area of interest, select the map server, with the Selection Manager tool, draw the surface download.
Download tab select the type of map and the number of zoom levels. If you want the highest resolution, choose a zoom level of 24.
In the Stitch tab must choose the output format of the images, the options are: JPEG, PNG, BMP, JPEG2000, ECW. Then select the path and name of the output file. Also choose the projection default map projection appears.
These are the minimum required options, the rest is optional, but it is good to play with various options and settings. Now click Start
The georeferenced images can be used in ArcGIS, gvSIG, QGIS, Erdas, ENVI, etc.

Great App.
It’s working fine !!!
hi, very interesting, but are you sure that this method is violating licence and policy of google etc?
Thanks, it work’s really well and the results are great!
Hi there, excellent tool!
Many thanks!
I will try this out.
It is showing watermarks how can i remove it????
Let’s be 100% clear about this, what you are offering above is illegal and is a violation of all licensing agreements with Google Earth. This is the same thing as telling people how to steal music illegally or cars.
O’k, well, you are 100% right about Google licensing agreements and of course you can compare it with stealing music illegally, but it would not be correct comparison with stealing cars. In such case more correct comparison would be illegal use of public car factory/plant to produce a copy of car… 😉
But they built an app for that.
Could you please help me to download Google image for ArcGIS software?
