yes, you can screen grab, but it might start to look fuzzy around 300m zoom level.

I zoomed down to 200m and it's fine. However after trying it on a few hikes - Birdseye satellite would be better for urban situation. Out in the woods, it was not very helpful and some of the grids were not hi-res where I hiked so I eneded up using the birdseye topo instead.
