Take a screenshot of a webpage with javascript?

I have got a real problem to export a dynamic google map into a jpg or png image.

A client can draw his own trip with a google map API v3 interface with custom markers and some other stuff.
I want to export his trip on jpg image.

I already tried the statics maps and html2canvas but it doesn’t work.

I want to re use the generate image put it in a pdf generate with the fpdf library.

Sorry for my poor english, I’m French and not very good in the Shakespeare’s language.

I already thank you if you can help me because it’s a very big project I have and I’m lost.

Answer 1

1 – Javascript has no access to the file system, therefore you cannot save a file with it.

2 – Saving images from Google Maps is not allowed. See here:

https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#tos_screenshots

Use of Google Maps imagery in printed materials and offline media is
subject to the Permission Guidelines published at:

http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html

you can request permission, but I don’t think it’s easy to obtain, unless you are a paying business customer.
