Maps?



I have been looking at the run/brooklyn blog and wondering how he captured the map he posts at the top of each blog.

Each time I would "click to save" the map route I generated in GMap-Pedometer I would be taken to the host site with no option to save my map.

So, I spent about an hour this morning looking around and checking the FAQs and Forums at the GMap-Pedometer site.

In the forums I found one guy who wrote he captures the map image by using "alt-PrintScr", then pasting the image in Paint. He then copies the portion he wants and saves it as a bmp.

I used his suggestion but then used my PhotoShop to finish resizing the map and converted it to a .jpg via WebReady. Whew!

Anybody got a easier way?

By the way, the map shows my walk of 5.2 miles the day I started this Blog, October 6th, 2006.
