How do I suggest a screenshot of a Google Maps instance?

I would like to implement a map similar to this: http://gmaps-utility-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/markerclusterer/1.0/examples/advanced_example.html

One of the necessary functions is the ability to save a screenshot of the visible map fragment along with markers. Do you have any ideas how I can implement such a function?

I know I can use this: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/ #Paths but it looks like the static maps API is limited to images up to 640x640

I'm not a lawyer, but I think you are prohibited from doing this through the Google Maps Terms of Service : the images on the map are copyrightable. In particular, section 10 of the terms probably prohibits what you want to do (see, in particular, section 10.2). There may also be some relevant provisions in the Google Maps Legal Notices .
