Located opposite of Paramount LRT Station in Malaysia, the Paramount View Condominium has half of the units facing the LRT station and high tension cables. About 2 years ago the previous state government approved the building of this condominium; question is how on earth did they get approved in the first place?

Strongest Evidence Yet Of Cancer Risk Near Power Lines
Electromagnetic fields ‘raise cancer risk’

Did I mention the current state government is not going to issue Certificate of Fitness (CF) unless the developer settle all outstanding matters following the dispute with surrounding residents, meaning to say, no electricity and water. To make matter worst, Kg Tunku residents wants the condo residence to use their own road to Paramount View Condo. No water, no electricity, lots of noise, near an electric pylon, no access road… … almost 80 – 90% sold, what are you guys waiting for?

Only in Malaysia. Third world country with out of the world mentality. Perhaps the electric pylon is meant to be a fire escape structure/route.

Capture And Join Multiple High Resolution Google Maps

Have you ever spend hours hitting the ‘print screen’ button on your keyboard followed by the ‘Ctrl + V’ button into Photoshop CS? Trying to stitch individual screen shots together is really time consuming. Try Google Maps Buddy – a downloader and joiner. Best of all, this tool is completely FREE and buggy, but it gets the job done, no complains.

  • Capture your Google Maps offline and store them as images on your hard drive
  • Print out maps of entire cities at zoom levels that would take hours to put together with the current Google facility

Click ‘Select Area’, draw a rectangle on the map with the ‘hand’ icon, I know, this is kind of confusing, it should have been a marquee icon instead of the hand icon.

Select zoom detail 17 then hit ‘Create Map Image’. It will now start downloading the selected area from Google Maps.

A window will appear, again, this is kind of confusing, it should have been ’save’ instead of ‘open’. Type in the filename and hit ‘Open’ to save the map.

Volla! A detailed map which would take a very long time to create manually using Photoshop and ‘print screen’ is now possible in less than a minute.
