I just tried disabling JavaScript in Mozilla (after displaying a Google Maps page). Sure enough, the context menu returns. Unfortunately, this does not solve the tiling issue and you'd have to perform 16 separate save actions then tile the images back together in an image editor!
Been there. The easy (or easier) way (in FF): Do "Tools > Page Info", select the images/tiles, and download from the right-click popup (IIRC). Putting them back together again in gimp is fairly simple if you do the math on the size and positions of the tiles and then use that geometry when setting the size of the New gimp image you'll be creating.
Intersting trick.
Another method is to look at the mozilla cache; sort by date, separate the latest files, run the "file" command on those that seem likely (they don't have helpfull extension names), and then check which are the images you want. I used that for a map in "flash" format, I think.
Watch the page load (pick a location you have not viewed recently) and you'll see that the order in which the images arrive is not fixed. If you're familiar with the whole AJAX thing, which is used by sites like this, the first A is for "asynchronous." Again, taking a screen capture is nice and straightforward and bypasses all the difficulty caused by the image tiling. For the moment, A9.com maps are not tiled and you might get better results there: http://maps.a9.com/. You'll still need to disable JavaScript to be able to get the context menu from a right click. The Page Info / Media trick still works there, however, and it's a single image. This is another AJAX site and in this case, it caches images, so if you navigate while on that page, you'll find multiple images in the Media listing.
