Hi Paul, Many thanks to all who responded to my post. I was able to experiment with your suggestions and then I exported the map from the screen into paint and save it to a jpeg. I borrowed a copy of Photo Studio from a friend and in playing around with it I was able to crop the picture and then add my notations.
Paul, you are definitely right about saving it to a jpeg. Lots of options to play with. Again, many thanks to all.

With the Map displayed on the screen, simply press [PrintScreen] unshifted. This puts the image on the Windows clipboard. Now... (1) Open MS Paint. (Start, All Programs, Accessories, Paint) (2) [Ctrl]+[V] pastes the image into Paint. (3) Select the area to be saved to eliminate uneeded stuff around the edges. (4) [Ctrl]+[X] snips out the selected area, which is now on the clipboard. (5) Move the cursor to the File menu at top of screen and select "New." (Click "no" when asked if you want to save the current file.) (6) Staring from the new blank file displayed, [Ctrl}+[V} inserts the area selected from the original screen save into Paint. (7) Save it as a JPEG. (8) Use MS Windows Picture & Fax Viewer to display and print, insert the image into a document, etc., lots of options. This seems like many steps, but it's actually pretty quick, and saving as a JPEG leaves many options. Works great during videos, too. 73, Paul, AE4KR ----- Original Message ----- From: Don Kupferschmidt To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 7:42 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] OT:Printing google or Bing maps from the web All, I'm trying to print a map which was brought up on either google or bing maps on the internet and then export it to a bmp or jpg file which then I can print to an ink jet printer.
