No Need to Get Cut-Up About it (Google Maps)

Google Maps is great and for a long time now I have wanted to be able to leverage theĀ  Google map technology for my own evil porpoises (Phocoena scelus). Well now I can and so can anybody thanks to the UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis. They have produced a nice program called the Google Map Image Cutter which can be used to slice and dice any large image into Google map segments and will also produce a web page with a Google map viewer embedded in it. Whilst the program is very simple I recommend looking over the readme file before you start playing. The program is written in Java and I can report from experience that it runs fine on XP and OS 10.4.
