Step 2, Select the Maps type, there are 2 types: Google Earth Satellite Imagry, Google Earth Satellite Historical Imagery.
If you selectd the Google Earth Satellite Historical Imagery, you need to input the historical imagery date to download, in format YYYY-MM-DD.

You can get the date from Google Earth client:

Note: if the inputed date was not found on the google's server, the product will download the closest date tiles for you.


Step 3, Define the zoom level scope. The zoom level defines the image precision. For example, if you define 'From zoom'=15, 'To zoom'=18, then it will download images at zoom=15, 16 ,17,18. (For trial version, the max zoom level is 13.)
Step 4 , There are 4 parameters (Left Longitude, Right Longitude, Top Latitude, Bottom Latitude) to define the area scope of images that you want to download.
Left Longitude: -180<=value<=180, for East, the value is positive, for West, the value is negative.
Right Longitude:-180<=value<=180, for East, the value is positive, for West, the value is negative.
Top Latitude:-85<=value<=85,for North, the value is positive, for South, the value is negative.
Bottom Latitude:-85<=value<=85,for North, the value is positive, for South, the value is negative.
For longitude and latitude, the input measurement is degree. You can convert the measurement of 'Degrees, Minutes,Seconds' to 'Degrees' by click menu 'Tools->Convert 'Degrees,Minutes,Seconds' to 'Degrees'...'.
Step 5 , Select a path to save the project and downloaded images
Step 6 , Then click button 'Start', OK, start downloading now ... !
When downloading, the log window will display the downloading process. When finished, the log will be saved to a file.
In some areas, there are no high zoom level tiles, so it will show 'no tile here, got a blank tile' message and you will get a blank tile image.

We also provide command line support. Click here to see how to start a task from command line.

Allmapsoft Google Earth Images Downloader

After exporting all downloaded tiles into a sqlite database, then you can use the sqlite file in some Android apps, such like RMaps and OruxMaps.

For RMaps: When you finished exporting tiles to sqlite database with export type 'For RMaps or Locus Map', you will get a file: your_task_name.geid.sqlitedb, then copy it to your Android device, to your RMaps installed path, might be like '/sdcard/rmaps/maps/', then refresh your RMaps offline maps, you will see a new offline maps 'your_task_name_geid.sqlitedb'.

To avoid IP banned, you can try to set the downloader to pause some minutes (default 5 minutes). But I can't guarantee it will work. Good luck!
Click menu 'Misc'->'Options', the following window will be displayed: check the checkbox 'Set pause to avoid IP banned' .
