+Cacheola Crew Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 My son is doing a project with a travel bug for a geography fair. We started entering the waypoints for each of the caches it has been to on MapSEND Streets. Now I find that there seems to be no way to print out the map on paper. Is this the case? I also tried Print Screen, but that didn't work either. If there is no way to do this, can anyone suggest another program that you can add waypoints to and show their location on a map for printing?

+TotemLake Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I find that very odd. MapSend Topo has a print function located on the tool bar and located in the File menu. Now you can also do a Ctrl/Print Scrn and then paste the clipboarded image to your favorite app and print it that way. A little kludgy, and you'll find the text might be hard to read because of the resizing. Cheers! TL Quote Link to comment
+Cacheola Crew Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 On Mapsend streets when I hit file, here are the options: Open Add all regions Save Waypoints Save Track Exit This is in the part where I am adding the waypoints and I can see the map on the screen. Perhaps I should save it somehow first and then pull it up some other way to get the print option? I wonder why Topo would have a print option, but streets would not. PS: Control Printscreen doesn't work either. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Geocaching-HamptonRoadsVA/join "You have brains in your head; You have feet in your shoes.

Dr. Seuss It sounds like you are running XP, and the user account is limited in terms of functions installed and usable. If so, the account is too restrictive. If your son is using his own account, and you have one that has all permissions in place, such as an Administrator account, then try it there and see what happens. That will tell you plenty right there. Cheers! TL Quote Link to comment
robertlipe Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 The ctrl-prscr option given really is the only one. And for those that are looking at him funny, it's true; "Mapsend Streets" (i.e. the one packaged with the 330x) has NO ability to print maps. "Mapsend Streets and Destinations" does. "Mapsend Topo" does. "Mapsend Streets" does not. Yes, it's rather odd... Quote Link to comment
+Cacheola Crew Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 Okay, I switched accounts and I was able to do the ctrl/printscreen option and import it to another program. But you are right, it is small and hard to read. Anyone know another program that might be on the web that will do what I want?

Mikeomni1 Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 (EDIT by Mike: See next post prior buying new software) Microsoft Streets and Trips appears to do what you need using its' pushpin feature. You can find the program for next to nothing with a rebate. Regards, Mike [This message was edited by Mikeomni1 on September 09, 2003 at 10:53 AM.] Quote Link to comment
Mikeomni1 Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Hold the phone. Think I just sorted it out with Mapsend. Go to Print preview then click on options and select Waypoints/Routs. You'll be good to go then. Regards, Mike Quote Link to comment
baked_potato Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 My advice is to get MapSend Topo. It prints and it has all the street info in it too. Good luck. Baked Potato Quote Link to comment
