Saving high resolution images from google maps/earth

So, the situation: I need to save high resolution images from google maps of an area given by latitude and longitude coords. Of course I know that from google earth I can save high res. images, but want to save the image as it looks like in google maps, e.g. without satellite images, so only roads, area names, etc. With print screen I'm not able to create high res. images in google maps, so, is there any way to save high res. images? For example with maps API, or something. Again, I need to save an area's high res. image given by latitude/longitude coords.

Thanks in advance for the answers.

For some higher res imagery, you might want to use the Static Maps api, using the scale paramater.

Some more info below.
