I tried the latest one posted in this thread by namorvx
http://kh.google.com/kh?v=36&z=%0d&x=%d&y=%d

and it actually worked a couple of weeks ago, but not anymore..

namorvx, you mentioned in your post that you've been able to figure out the change in the URL by reviewing the source code, could you please instruct us (n00bs ) how we could do that..

I tried to check the source code on "http://maps.google.com/" but in vain....

Many Thanks for your help in advance!
Google Satellite maps seem to be unavailable, perhaps indefinitely. They don't seem to be very accepting of satellite imagery being pulled off of their servers in an automated fashion, and I'm not inclined to fight that.
