## Usage ##
See the [User Guide](https://github.com/heldersepu/GMapCatcher/blob/wiki/User_Guide.md) for more details.
**maps.py** is a gui program used to browse google map. With the **offline** toggle button unchecked, it can download google map tiles automatically. Once the file downloaded, it will reside on user's hard disk and needn't to be downloaded again any more, there is an optional "Force update" if the tile is older than 24 hours, it will be re-downloaded.
**download.py** is a downloader tool that can be used to download map tiles without gui. **maps** can use files it downloaded without configuration.
Below is an example using **download.py**:
```
$ download.py --location="Paris, France" --max-zoom=16 --min-zoom=0 --latrange=2.0 --lngrange=2.0
```
