+**Historic code -- no longer workable!**
+
+# Download tool for Google Maps, ca. 2007
+
+This is a small suite of Python scripts implementing the (no longer in use
+– for well over a decade) historic Google Maps URL scheme for both
+photographic images (satellite and aireal) as well as the "vector"
+renderings.
+
+Publishing this here out of historic interest.
