FSS Google Maps Downloader Description
Visiting places nowadays can now be done virtually with the help of the Internet. Earth is entirely mapped out and you can spend a considerable amount of time at least finding the place you live. Using various specialized applications like FSS Google Maps Downloader you can even save preferred locations to your hard disk drive.
Lightweight and easy to use
The application’s design is kept to a minimum to maximize efficiency. As the name suggests, it uses Google Maps to let you navigate in the main window.
Most activity required on your behalf is to find the desired location and hitting the “Save Map” button captures the area between the application’s borders to PNG or JPG. Additionally, you can directly print it out on a sheet of paper.
Good but far from being a pro
However, other than the features mentioned above, the application puts little else at your disposal. One of the most helpful features is the integrated search engine that quickly lets you find desired places.
Result of looked up places is only displayed on the map over the area you are currently over, with no list to save queries and quickly have them accessed again.
Moreover, the application only gives you the possibility to view maps, but no way to interact. It is a shame that no integrated function allows you to calculate distances or mark points to have them saved to an image file. For this to be done, the photo needs to be processed in an external application.
To end with
Taking everything into consideration, we can say that FSS Google Maps Downloader mostly comes in handy when you need to emphasize a location for an event or specific building. It lets you quickly accommodate and even though it’s not the best of its kind you end up giving it a great level of attention by visiting various places.
