If this actually makes it easier and larger, it might be a nice toy. I'll try it later.. Thanks, John. -- remove nonsense for reply

I just full screened a map in Firefox and compared it to Google Map Saver's display, and there isn't much difference. That is, once I used the "Nuke Anything Enhanced" FF extension to remove a lot of the stuff at the top of the screen. On my system, GMS loads the maps much faster than FF. The program also allows saving the screen in a variety of image formats and resolutions, but so does MWSnap. -- John Corliss BS206. Because of all the Googlespam, I block all posts sent through Google Groups. I also block as many posts from anonymous remailers (like x-privat.org for eg.) as possible due to forgeries posted through them. No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited, trial or web wares OR warez for me, please. Adobe Flash sucks, DivX rules. "First thing we do, we kill all the advertisers..."

Saving the map is simply a press of a button. I have vehicle GPS and netbook + receiver, but if I know roughly where I'm going, printing a few maps from GMS beforehand reduces all the clutter / possible accidents / law-breaking. Laminating them helps too ...
