 If you're taking overhead pics in Google Earth and stitching them manually you can make yourself a transparent overlay grid image. This you can use to plot out a raster of your area, toggle it off when you're taking the pictures. Also, don't change the zoom level, this will make it very difficult to stitch the raster as the images would be out of proportion to each other. Turn off 3d terrain too. If you're taking overhead pics in Google Earth and stitching them manually you can make yourself a transparent overlay grid image.

 If you want 1 pixel 1m sat map for your 40960 map you would need to capture 100 of this pics (depending on landmass). If you got a atom fueled supercomputer then do it. If you want 1 pixel 1m sat map for your 40960 map you would need to capture 100 of this pics (depending on landmass).
