I would like to use the google maps downloader to save satellite images from google maps (http://www.allallsoft.com/gmd/index.html), but is it legal to use?
In the terms of service you can read that: "Unless you have received prior written authorization from Google (or, as applicable, from the provider of particular Content), you must not: (a) copy, translate, modify, or make derivative works of the Content or any part thereof; (b) redistribute, sublicense, rent, publish, sell, assign, lease, market, transfer, or otherwise make the Products or Content available to third parties...(d) use the Products in a manner that gives you or any other person access to mass downloads or bulk feeds of any Content, including but not limited to numerical latitude or longitude coordinates, imagery, and visible map data..."
This program downloads the tiles and match them. The internet explorer does the same. When I view google maps in internet explorer, it downloads the tiles to "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files" and put them together. So it copies imagery to folder and mass downloads them.
