ArmA 2 Terrain satellite texture from Google Satellite Maps Downloader. Note there is also Universal Maps Downloader and Offline Map Maker.
This software works very well and the quality is surprisingly good what you can download. The shareware version limits zoom to 13 which is … barely good enough. You want to get zoom level of 16 or 17.

Basic Use
Check Latitude / Longitude Tutorial how to grab the info of your location. Then just type the numbers into this tool, be careful that you wont make it too large as the image size goes to something crazy what even Photoshop cannot open anymore. Its better to test the values with very small zoom first.
