What is it
==========

Mkmap is a map maker by downloading map tiles from online map services, 
like google maps, and combining into a single large picture file.
It accepts the latitude and longitude coordinates, then downloads and
merges map tiles.

The point of mkmap is to generate a larger map than the size of a browser 
screen. So the map could be easily printed or viewed in an off-line device.

Mkmap support both Unix-like and MS Windows system.


Release  Notes
==============
See ChangeLog.

Install
=======

Mkmap can be built in Linux and MS Windows system. It uses the very simple
make files so a manual modification is more or less required.

In the Linux/Unix system, Mkmap requires following packages:

libcurl
libgd
libfreetype
libjpeg
libpng
libz

Then type

./configure
./make

It should be done automatically.


In the Win32 system, all the required libraries have been precompiled and 
shipped with the Mkmap package already. The MinGW is recommanded being the 
building platform.

Latitude and Longitude
======================

The following information was extracted from
http://support.google.com/maps/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=18539
It explained how to find the latitude and longitude to feed into mkmap:

"If you're browsing Google Maps and want to know the coordinates of 
a location, just right-click on the map and select <What's here?>. 
The coordinates will automatically pop up in the search box."


Examples
========

You may use the command to test it: 

mkmap -f -33.815025,150.886059 -t -33.906967,151.115141 -z 12
