anyone know how to print from google maps

[kossetx]

I think it would be handy to have some small maps to carry on the tractor to mark locations like certain grasses, new roads, etc. Anyone know how to print from google? I can't figure it out. TIA, pete

Ya above the buttons "Street View, More, Map, Satellite, Terrain) are three links. "Print" "Send" and "Link"..
Click the print button.

My bad, I should have said print in the satelite view. I can only get it to print map view, A satelite view gives more defining landmarks. You can even see the cows in my pasture.

I would think the u.s. gov would have a site you could do this from but I've yet to find it. Any ideas?

That is weird, I just tried it and I can print when viewing Satellite on Google. Another option if you are looking for Satellite maps, try TerraServer-USA.

Might try google earth as well. Free download and you can zoom in/out, pan, rotate, etc. Also has tools to add street names overlaid over the satelite image and a distance tool for measuring in feet/miles/yards etc that comes in handy.

Microsoft Virtual Earth is pretty good. Has a neat "Bird's Eye" viewer too that works in the more urban areas.
Web browser and Live Maps are incompatible
I've found the resolution to be higher in some areas than it is with Google maps or satellite sightseer.
I spend too much time looking at dams, power stations and canals.

If you can't print you can hit print screen (or Alt-print screen) and paste image in Paint or Word

You may want to check your county web site. Allot of the times they have satellite image programs and sometime with more features. Mine shows contours with sea level elevations and property dimensions. I've done exactly what you are trying to do for my master planning. I致e imbedded my map into a drawing program where I show my entire property that I've begun mapping and label tree species and I can also zoom into view details of my house plans. It works great.

See if your county has a GIS, geographic information system.

My county does.. And I'm pretty sure I can print the maps if I wanted to.

When you have the satellite view you want, hit your print-screen button at the upper right corner of your key board.
Then open MS paint, click the edit tab, then paste from the drop down menu. From there you can crop what you want and print.

If you've ever got a problem printing ANYTHING on your computer, install MWSnap. It'll print anything that you can display to your screen. Print the whole screen, a whole window, or any custom chunk of the screen.
