gMapMaker

gMapMaker enables you to make OziExplorer compatible maps (image + calibration file) and giant merged images from Google Map tiles (satellite, hybrid, driving, terrain maps)

Due to a lack of time, development has been stopped for now.

You can have a look at Mobile GMaps, they have some tweaked and bugfixed version of gMapMaker.

FAQ

How do I get the Chinese driving maps (maps for China are now available at ditu.google.com, at maps.google.com you just have grey areas) ?
You have to edit config file gMapMaker.exe.config and replace, for setting GoogleMT, line http://mt*.google.com/mt?n=404&v=w2.70&x=XXXX&y=YYYY&zoom=ZZZZ with line http://mapgoogle.mapabc.com/googlechina/maptile?v=w2.70&x=XXXX&y=YYYY&zoom=ZZZZ
