saving a google map when no printer connected?

cattie

Hi and help. I'm trying to work out if it's possible to save a google direction map to a memory stick when there is no printer attached to laptop?

As far as I can see there is only the facility to print the map, but not to save so I can get it printed off on a pc that doesn't have internet connection but does have a printer.

Thanks if you can help.

With the map on screen hit the print screen key on the keyboard, open paint, ctrl & v (paste) the image in, save the map image and copy to USB stick. You could do the same and paste the map to an email, and mail it to yourself for printing later

Or try primopdf to crate a pdf free(installs as a virtual printer on lappy) http://www.primopdf.com/

Thank you both, have used the paint solution as it seemed the easiest, but the primopdf could well come in useful at some future point.

If you are on windows you could press print and select Microsoft XPS document writer, it comes out like a pdf.

Anaother option for future reference - if you're on Vista or Win7 then the Snipping tool can be used to save part or all of the display as a jpg rather than messing around with Paint.
