Google Maps Print Friendly

[+Rabbitto]

Regarding the new maps on the print friendly pages.

 

As a caher in Australia, we use (used) the maps at the top when filing caches to be done. They provided us with a quick way of planning trips eg This one is a bit North of Bendigo, this one is a little north east from that, the next is a little further east etc. Although the old maps were fairly basic they did for what we wanted. Although the new maps are a lot better - the following problems are occuring which are making it currently worse -

 

1. The maps, being at the "bottom" of the page are no longer a good quick reference for us when flipping through. For different caches, is the map at the bottom of page 1 or the top of page 2 or the middle of page 3? Only the length of the description determines this.

 

2. When we print from the "Make this Page Print Friendly" view, the map cuts in half between pages, should it be located in that spot.

 

3. When this happens the part of the map on the first page is a blank square and the part on the second page prints map

 

4. The page would have previously have printed on one page anyway and not two, had the map been in the same position as the first map was and is thus not that friendly any more.

 

In short - can the map go back to the top where the old one is? This will fix all.

 

Thanks for the assist.

 

PS Just to shortcut - No, I'm not getting a palmtop anytime soon

I printed up some cache pages for Hawaii and had the same problem. Unfortunately I am not computer savvy enough to know how to fix it-if its a problem on my end.

Is this the right forum for this or should I be contacting someone directly?

Probably in the Geocaching.com forum - and maybe even a part of this thread

The thread Markwell referenced is a good place to start. Also found this thread and this thread.

 

Closing this one in favor of the other already running discussions.
