This is true, although I would guess that they would add "using the official API" to the end of that sentence. > With historical mapping projects such as mine, I am forced (was > forced) to use the Google tiles from mt.google.com.

I doubt there is a timesaving device, either. It sounds as though you should be recalculating your custom map in nine-tile squares, or even reprojecting it completely, which are going to be labour intensive, I agree. However, if Google really is happy for you to scrape their tiles, why not ask how to go about doing it? Pamela might comment here or give a hint about what to do.
