Satellite Image GPS

[InsideJob]

Sometime I wonder if Google doesn't change the server name just to stop people from doing this but I suppose that'd be a conspiracy theory... and only the government can make those without looking like a bug-eyed loon.

So for those of you needing GPS nirvana on your Pi 2, after you get FoxTrotGPS up and running edit the link for Google's satellite and make it:

http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=s&hl=en&x=%d&y=%d&z=%d

then clear out all the zero length files the old link left behind:

rm -r ~/Maps/googlesat/

You can then drive around town with a little blip on a satellite image.
