I wanted to save the google map into an image from a webpage.
while i was searching for that i got this program.
http://www.codres.de/downloads/gms.exe[^]

besides other alternatives like print screen i wanted to use a program or map api which can save a specified dimension of google map instead of the screen.

i have used browser component in c# for http access and for displaying certain webpages.

I want to know whether there are options to capture the browser screen to image using any c# functionality or even the browser component would have given such options. just a guess.

i would like to have answers, suggestions on how to capture the map with custom dimension and zoom size to an image.

Those maps consist of "tiles", typically 256x256 pixels. At zoom level 0, there is one single tile showing the whole world. With each zoom level, the number of tiles per dimension doubles.
Take a look at "GMap.NET - Great Maps for Windows Forms and Presentation[^]", it can download and store tiles from many sources.
