Problem with printing maps

[+Glynrob]

We use Google Chrome and when we print maps we usually get random white squares/rectangles on the map, but,

do not show on the screen.

Please can someone tell me why this is happening and what we can do to stop it happening. Thank you.

I use Chrome and I've not seen that.

You could save a screen shot of the map and print that. I generally do that anyway as it is more flexible to get exactly the part of the map I want printed that way. Take a screen shot and paste it into an editing program (e.g. Microsoft Paint). Then print from there.

Thank you. I will try that tonight.

It may be easier to drag a screenshot into a word processor file, crop it and then print it from there actually - programs like Paint can be a bit kooky when they print images, especially if the image is actually quite a large one (which might not be clear from the screen view).

 

You can combine two or more images more helpfully as well that way - I'll sometimes include a base map and a couple of sat view thumbnails showing the specific cache location.

If yer on a PC, there is a natty tool called "snipping tool" already there. It's brilliant. My 18 month old laptop running Windows 7 has it, dunno if Vista has it.
