not quite sure what you mean but technically if you want to capture the image of
a google map use the static API:

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/

and cf8's imageNew() or <cfImage action="read"> to capture the map image &
imageWrite() or <cfImage action="write"> to write the image file to your server.

legally, not sure this is OK w/google maps' TOS:

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html

though i guess maybe if you were doing this to improve your app's performance it
might be ok???

I think the first step is to google "google sitemap coldfusion" and see
what other people have already done. That way you probably won't need to
reinvent the wheel.
