How to change the size of a google maps frame
hi,
I'd like to download a google maps in high resolution, to do this i need to adjust a frame to make it bigger than the screen whilst scaling up the contents. I can then use a frame grabber program to download the contents. Below is an example map of a small region of spain, is there a way to adjust the HTML code here to do this?
Thanks!

Not sure I'm following you but just change the width and height of the iframe.

yeah that's what i thought but that just uncrops the map - i want to keep the same map boundary but have higher res
Append the iframe url with
&z=15
Adjust the number to whatever zoom level you want.
&z=15
Adjust the number to whatever zoom level you want.
I am not sure you can control the resolution. If you can then the properties to do it will be buried somewhere in the API. So I suggest you explore the API or look around the Google support documentation.
I don't think you can do anything with markup. At the very least it will require some scripting. If you want, I I add the javascript topic to the Question.

Thanks a lot. Do you know what is the scale, or how I could calculate the correct scaling to capture the original bordering? In this example when scaling the iframe width x10, then by trial & error z=13 seems to do it.
It's really a case of trial and error.
