This page How to easily capture large maps from google maps � Digital Quest explains how to get a panning Google map into a PNG file.

Unfortunately the resulting 12Mb image can't be zoomed into well enough to be able to make out details.

Does anyone know how to zoom into a picture on a Playbook beyond the current 100% limit? This would be really handy to be able to create simple city maps when travelling overseans

Download the map to a pdf file. Use the Adobe Acrobat reader to zoom. You can also use jpg files and view as a photo with zoom.
I use detailed New York City maps that I downloaded from the nyc.gov website.
There are many such maps around the world

I created a 5000x4000px PNG that takes in the greater Paris area. I have tried rendering it to both PDF and other graphic formats but you simply can't zoom far enough into a 5x4k image.

Just bumping the thread to see if anyone can suggest a picture viewer for the Playbook that is capable of zooming-in and rendering a 5000x4000px image?

The PB can easily open the image but can't render the detail at zoomed in levels beyond 100% zoom.

Any idea where to find a sample image that size for testing/playing?

I always fed my offline maps to TrekBuddy (different resolutions for easy zoom in/out) with GoogleAK.

As soon as I have some free time, I'm planning to create a WebWorks standalone app based on openlayers.org
I hope it helps, Wolf
