Earth Zoom Map Question
Im trying to do this Earth Zoom tutorial over at videocopilot but having a hard time creating my own map at different zoom levels.
I went to googlemaps but am unsure how to save out the maps image. The maps always show that little “balloon” icon of where my search result is. Is there a way to turn that off or should I just stamp it out in PS? do i just do a screen grab and then crop it in PS? What is a good workflow for this? Thanks

There is a setting you can change in Google Earth so that it doesn’t show any of the labels or balloons on the screen. Check the left side of the screen and look for (I think) “Labels” and uncheck everything.
Then just spin the Earth until you find your location and take screen shots at different levels.
But, like Dave said, it’s copyrighted. So…actually…don’t do that. But if you did…it would work.

Nasa’s website is probably the way to go for this kind of thing.
