How can I collate a land map with Google Maps satellite view?
Q. I'm considering investing in a tract of property, and the boundaries and borders of this property are displayed on the land companies website. It is shaded and graphed out well, but the over-all map leaves a lot to the imagination. It doesn't show neighboring property or anything.

Is there any way that I can collate the shaded part of the land map I'm considering investing in, with Google Maps satellite view? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

A. I did this once, by stitching screen captures of google maps section in a photo editing program like Photoshop. When you have the google map area displayed on screen, hold down the key ALT and press key "Print Screen", this will copy the content of your screen into a memory buffer. In your photo editing program, make a new blank photo file then press Ctrl-V or "File -> Paste" in the menu, and your "screenshot" will be pasted into the the new file. Make sure your new blank file resolution matches your screen resolution. To stitch other screenshot into the same file, you will have to resize the resolution of your file to double the original file, or make that file at the required resolution in the first place.

For example: if you have your screen resolution at 1024x786, make your blank file at 1024x1572 if you want to stitch two screen shots vertically, and 2048x786 if you do it side by side. After that you would want to clean up the image by cropping out unwanted areas, flatting it in case of Photoshop and save it in JPEG format to save disk space.
