Does anybody know how to save a screen shot of Google Satellite Maps????:throw:

[treasurefiend]

I found some weird looking sites in my local forest preserve using "google maps", using the "satellite" view. But I can't figure out a way to save the screen shot of the area. I want to save it, add some notes, then print it so that I can use it as a map. I tried to right click the mouse, it doesn't give an option to "save picture as". I tried "select all" and "save as", but that just saves the httml. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Or do you know of another website that has satellite pics for free, that you can save and print???

If not, I will have to draw it my self, I would rather have the sat. pic.

If you have Windows XP, get the image you want on the screen then press the PrtSc button (on the top right of my keyboard)...it will save a copy of the screen to your memory.

Then open up whatever photo program you use (I use IrfanView..its small and free and easy to use). Once your photo program is open press CTRL (control) V (vee) and it should appear in your program window.

It makes bitmap (bmp) files. You might be able to work them in windows paint unless your other software will work with them.

Thats how I do it too. I use printkey 2000 (screen capture program). Save as file - type BMP. Then open a blank paint file and go to edit - paste from. Mosaic all of the screen shots together - then save as file type JPEG to reduce file size. You should also try out some of the free GIS sites. They show flyover's of areas - and you can zoom down to 1 meter resolution. Right down to seeing people and cars on the road. Here is one I did of my area that shows city parks and other potential hunt areas.
