Hosting image files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
I'd like to have an adapter to host the map files on my own offline server, 
using the standard google map javascripts to view maps in a browser using 
host files or whatever.

2nd request, the ability to dump google map files into a database.

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?
I work in a disconnected environment and would love to be able to give demos 
by plotting mappable data on a google map while off the main grid. Since 
this software already downloads and catches all the necessary files, an 
adapter for IIS or tomcat which will return these files as required.

What you are requesting sounds great! but is way over the scope of this 
project, you 
basically want to create a local tile server, and your own web interface...

 I was doing some more research into this, and you can still use GMapCatcher in a 
"disconnected environment" you just need to share the folder that contains the 
map 
tiles in your network (.googlemaps), see the attached image.

Thanks, the only draw back is that the google map ajax web app won't work via 
that 
kind of reference. It will work using your tool. I think i'll look into how you 
grab 
the images and work backwords from there. I attempted it before, but I kept 
getting 
403 forbidden messages. I think it has something to do with s=Galileo in the 
url image 
request.

 I hope you have a solution by now, but if you still working on this here is the code 
where we "grab" the images from the different map servers:

your second request (the ability to dump map files into a database) is now 
done, the tiles can also be saved in SQLite format
