Build a Google Earth Plugin or Allow for Exporting of High-Res Images
As an architecture student, these are fantastic. However, I'd really like to be able to export portions of stylized maps as high resolutions images (well, I'd love to have vector files, but I understand that's a Google limitation). Is there any way to do that?
I know that Google Earth Pro allows for the export of high-res images; maybe a snazzy map plugin for Google Earth would work? Or maybe it'd be easier to implement the function independent of building a whole plugin, I don't know.
We are only able to style maps currently because Google has a feature to do so via their JavaScript API. While I’m not too familiar with Google Earth, I haven’t been able to find any documentation on how to style their maps. If you know of any documentation please let me know and I’ll take a look at it!
As for the high-res output, Google doesn’t support this through their JavaScript API, so there isn’t much we can do :( We get a lot of requests for this but it’s simply not possible at the moment.
Sorry for not being able to support these ideas but we are really limited to the features that Google provides. They don’t allow a lot of low-level access to their vector files or map data. Hopefully in the future they will add something though!

Is there a way to export a stylized map to Google Earth?
This is primarily to use a style so that it would not limited by the Mercator projection.
Is that somehow possible?

I'm disappointed, but I understand how it's an impossibility at this point. Thanks for the explanation!

I'm looking for the exact same thing. Hoping that a solution to this already exists.

or maybe this is already a function and I'm just somehow missing how to do this.
If so, please enlighten me!
