About Ultimate Maps Downloader

Ultimate Maps Downloader can help you create your own maps. It lets you download maps of specific areas, from around the world, at different zoom levels. You can find road maps, satellite maps and more, powered by Google, Yahoo, Microsoft Bing, OpenStreetMap, OpenCycleMap and other services. All images are then downloaded as small tiles and can be combined into one big map image for offline use. It supports all major image file formats, and can organize collections of tiles in directory-based albums.

When it comes to mapping and views of the world, everyone can find it useful. Users can add markers on the map or simply search for nearest venues from Foursquare. You can place markers that represent airports, attractions, bars, hospitals and much more. These markers have different icons, according to what place they represent. More than 600 POI icons are included in the package. A route will be highlighted automatically if you place a start and an end point on the map. You can export all this information to a GPX file and use it on your smartphone or GPS device. 

It also creates ESRI World File for downloaded images for use in professional mapping software like Global Mapper. This makes it an essential tool for mapping professionals who use GIS software.

Ultimate Maps Downloader has consistently been awarded "5 stars award" by leading software distribution sites and testing laboratories around the world. This proves us it is the best tool, for downloading maps from the Internet, available on the market.

It is available on the Lizard Labs website in a free trial version, as well as an enhanced paid version. You can download it, and view the rest of Lizard Labs' software product offerings, at http://www.lizard-labs.net.
