It might be, but it seems to make an awful lot of assumptions about my
knowledge of how their maps thing works.

This sort of thing *should* - given a good enough API - be a simple
matter of setting some config options to tell it to grab tiles of size
P*Q representing real-world area X*Y from such-and-such a URL.  Writing
code to do this seems to be Just Wrong.  But perhaps I'm expecting too much.
