[Opensim-users] export map?

Hello all, I'd like to get some nice quality birdseye/map views of
some of the sims I'm building on my server. A solution that could
result in both a thumbnail size and a larger more detailed version
would be ideal.

On the opensimulator.org wiki there is mention of an 'export map'
command, which may work for the thumbnails (though this brings up
another issue, the in-world map is of low quality, showing land as
flat green with no indication of elevation or actual terrain.), though
it doesn't seem to be included even in the help file on v0.7.0.2 that
I am using. Simply manually trying to get my camera square above the
sim and taking a viewer snapshot or a screenshot is rather tedious and
would lead to inconsistent results.

Anyway, I am left wondering if there is an equivalent command to
'export map' that I just haven't found? Or has someone found some
other work-around that can generate consistent quality overhead views?

While writing this, it occurred to me perhaps a script that could take
control of the camera and square it to the sim at a specific elevation
might be acceptable... Any suggestions welcome :)

Cheers,
~!CJ
