Nice work! I looked through the source code and really like the approach of automatically converting the preview image URL to the full-resolution version by replacing the width parameter (`=w...`) with `=w0`. It's a simple but effective solution that saves users from manually inspecting image URLs or using browser developer tools. The automatic filename generation using `fid` and `image_key` is also a thoughtful touch.
What I especially appreciate is that the script follows the same workflow many Google Maps power users have been using through the "Report a problem" page, but automates the tedious parts and makes downloading much more convenient. The underlying technique is similar to methods frequently discussed by the Google Maps community when trying to obtain original-quality images from Maps.
For users who prefer not to install a userscript manager, there are also web-based alternatives available. I've recently been using DownloadMapImage , which lets you paste a Google Maps photo URL and retrieve the image directly in your browser without needing Tampermonkey or additional setup. It can be a useful companion depending on your workflow.
Thanks for sharing this project with the community!
