So I need 2560x882 px google maps image (web purpose). But I only have 22" monitor, so the biggest size I can get is ~1650px wide (height is not the issue). Is there a way to get a bigger resolution (without all the marks, like search, and stuff)?

The API only goes up to 640x640.

You can use http://www.allmapsoft.com/gmd/ to create a bigger map, but there's no way that I know of to do it by resolution.

Yeah, I did that (got 300 MB file lol), but this way I can get only terrain, and I'd like a map :\

I need the biggest res so that when the web site is viewed on a larger screen the image won't loose on quality that much...

And you can't just embed a map?

You can disable the dragging Smile

Well technically I just need the map as a background with contact form, overlayed in blue (so that the map is only barely visible, and text readable). And embedding seems like a hassle.

This is just few lines of code in css Very Happy
