As others have said, the biggest issue you have is that when you blow up the
image that either you capture off Google Maps or Google Earth you are going
loose all detail. Your house you can recognize when you see it on your
computer screen will only be like 6 pixels in size 6 really big pixels.

I know, I have a large format printer, its a small one onlt 30 inches, and
you need images of huge size, like 300 meg.

To see what it would look like open the pic and blow it up like 3000% and
you will see why you will get.

Oh and it going to cost a ton of money.

I have a wall that I want to cover with roughly a 5 foot by 10 foot
"picture" frame of a google satellite view of the surrounding area.

Any idea how to accomplish the various technical parts?
- For the 'frame', I'm thinking of making it out of pine
- For the 'glass', I'm wondering how big a sheet of thin plastic I can buy
- For the 'printing', I'm not sure, but maybe Kinkos can print it?

Have any of you ever created a huge frame and/or printing of google maps?

Can you give me some pointers to get me going in the right direction?
