Hi my real name is gholamreza.
I want to write a program like "Universal Maps Downloader" and I don't know how I download maps pictures from Google site. Any one can help me????
I am familiar with C#, Java, C++, Vb.net

Welcome aboard! If you look at the site with firebug, you'll see that each map piece is something like this:

<img style="border: 0px none ; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: absolute; left: -15px; top: 111px; width: 256px; height: 256px; -moz-user-select: none;" src="http://mt2.google.com/vt/lyrs=m@107&hl=en&x=2&y=6&z=4&s=Gali"/>

My problem is that I have not any knowledge about address type of google server. As other expression I don't know the mean of "lyrs=m@107&hl=en" in such addresses and I down know when I should use Galileo, or Ga, or ... in downloading pictures in following links:

mt3.google.com/vt/lyrs=m@107&hl=en&x=3&y=6&z=4&s=Galileo
mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=m@107&hl=en&x=4&y=6&z=4&s=Ga
mt2.google.com/vt/lyrs=m@107&hl=en&x=2&y=6&z=4&s=Gali
mt3.google.com/vt/lyrs=m@107&hl=en&x=3&y=6&z=4&s=Galileo

They are parameters that are being passed to Google's server. It sends back an image file dynamically.
