gmapcatcher does not downloads or save hybrid maps.

it looks as though google have changed their urls;

most notably for us there is a clear difference from the sat urls to the 
overlay urls

for instance for sat tiles the urls are
http://khm2.google.com/kh/v=67&hl=en&x=10&y=25&z=6

while for hybrid - overlay - tiles they are
http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=h@130&hl=en&x=10&y=25&z=6

I guess that in googleMaps.py we are looking for the wrong pattern...
the answer could be in the files attached, look for insertTiles

that sounds right; as I understand it currently we request the URL from google 
then the tile, possibly we should try parse the URL/s from the insertTile 
JavaScript?

In the past we had many issues when Google changes the URL patterns, I guess if 
we get the "baseUrl" from the "insertTile" we should be OK...

I was doing some more research that the "insertTiles" was always there, we can 
date it back to Issue 17 there a file attached in that issue that also has the 
baseUrl

My thinking is we should perhaps have some kind of cronjob script that parses 
the google maps JavaScript, then dynamically writes a reference page here - 
similar to the version page - that the GMapCatcher app would then read directly 
for the Base URL at startup / when changing layers; hopefully saving latency?

I know I've seen different configurations of projects at code.google.com, would 
adding a cronjob be possible? Alternatively it could be hosted some place that 
allows cronjob scripts

could be worthwhile picking up the URL from the maps API, 
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html 
getTileUrl()

Google App Engine for instance seems to allow cron jobs

looks good; for the longer term, it looks as though someone has already 
registered gmapcatcher.appspot.com? I've registered mapcatcher.appspot.com in 
case

I have installed Gmapcatcher 0.7.5.0, I am unable to see (and save) hybrid maps 
from Google and Yahoo, displayed are satellite maps instead. I was able to see 
Hybrid maps couple weaks ago. How to fix it?

Yahoo hybrid  should be OK, the problem is with Google and unfortunately we no 
longer support Google maps, see Issue 210 for more details
