dumb ? - google maps

[DollaBill]

I need a snapshot of a map. how do i save just the map pic to use on a brochure???

 

[Sea-Dated]

Screenshot and cut it to fit what you want? I don't know if there is an easier way or not.

Hit the printscreen button on your keyboard, and then paste it into your favorite pic editing software.

Never done it on google maps , but google earth , rt click and save !!

 

[jhenrie]

Correction , File , save , save file. in google earth that is. My house with boat in the driveway.

 

[cigdaze]

Can't do that with google maps. It's a flash app and the right-click function is blocked.
You have to take a screen capture using the printscreen button.

 

[jhenrie]

Just did it , as above !!!!

 

[cigdaze]

With google earth, I agree - right-click and save.

With the online version of google maps, you get a different menu, and no option to save-as.

Right , maps is flash. No good there.

dude... just hit the print button in the upper corner of the map..prints it right out.

 

[DollaBill]

yeah but i just want the map not the whole page

Hit "Print Screen"

Go to "Start" > "All Programs" > "Accessories" > "Paint"

Then hit "V" while holding the "Ctrl" button down

Then hit the dashed square button (see pic-circled in red) to encompass what you want

Then hit the "C" while holding the "Ctrl" button down

Then go to "File" > "New" and then hit the "V" while holding the "Ctrl" button down

"File" > "Save as" and then put in your file name
