I've seen some interesting paper prints of google-satelite-images.
But when I try to save the image that I can see on my [I.E. displayed] PC,
it just savesthe road maps.
It was the same when I tried a different 'map' last month.
On I.E., while you can still see the sat-image you do:
-> page -> Save As
and then it opens a 'directory' where you can save 'the stuff'.
The *.mht file is saved in a txt-format, suitable for emailing;
which I don't particularly want. The various *.png which are
base64 decoded, in this file don't have the satelite image which I
can *SEE*.
Is it deliberately blocked from saving, so that you have to go
on-line to google every time you want to see it?
== TIA.

Use the PrtScr button then paste into a graphics editor and save.

<prt sc> would print the WHOLE screen?
"paste" ing commonly applies to <text stretches, although
an area of screen could be captured: effectively to 'paste'
an <image>.
I have to use this Win7-crap, to drive the wireless-modem,
else I could use screen-capture under *nix.
But I can't believe that g-stat images can't be SIMPLY saved,
unless they are deliberately blocked, for commercial reasons.

Other graphics programs will do similar, even savng just a certain window.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is my second reply.
Yes, <Webpage, complete> is a big improvement, because I
don't need to manually extract the [64base decoded] files, and
I have the 15 *png/*jpg files separate, which is what I need.
But!! The sat-picture, which I now still see in I.E. is NOT one
of the images saved. They all seem to be images which
where shown while I was <navigating, zooming> to my
FINAL image.

BTW, where's the <Bookmark> facility, which non

go back to the same URL next month. Or is that what's now

If the image can be rendered on the computer-display, it uses some standard

No, the image that I'm ALREADY looking at is in my PC.
Why should I pay to go on line again ?

I've been looking at the image in off-line mode for 2 days.
I'm only talking about google-maps.

The notion of BOOKMARK is hundreds of years old, and existed from
the first 'web browser' decades ago.

that PAINT is a commonly installed app. in Win.
Did you ever ask yourself WHY the <as I previously described>
"direct method" doesn't work.
If goog want's to prevent their sat images from being save, that's
OK. But I HATE, what the americans call "bait and switch".
What is the point of having the "direct method" save a series
of *.png/*jpg which are NOT the picture that the users sees and
obviously wants to save?
