AppleMapDownloader is a lightweight desktop application for downloading and stitching large map areas into high-resolution raster outputs. It supports multi-threaded downloading, automatic image stitching, GeoTIFF export, BigTIFF support, and georeferenced outputs suitable for GIS workflows. The project was developed as a companion utility for PyMapStitcher, allowing users to generate large map mosaics and geospatial imagery for research, GIS, remote sensing, archaeology, and mapping projects.
