Printing Map/Directions

kicks66 · 31 Jul 2011 at 17:15

Ive just set out a route on google maps, got it saved in a kml file. Id like to print it out, ideally as an old black and white A-Z style outline map, whats the easiest way to do this?

With a printer?

Its not a very good map to print though, lots of colours to it which dont translate into maps well. Ideally id like to have the route, edit it in photoshop to remove all the roads away from the route, and print over multiple pages.

Buy a TomTom? I only need to cover the route once, seems a bit excessive.

You don't save it, you press print.

Yer I tried that but it gives me the standard google map, which is quite poor for printing.

Try the AA route planner website - IIRC it gives it in black and white.

Or atleast definatly gives it worded in black and white

Print> Properties> Black and White.

Never had problems printing directly from Google Maps in full colour or grayscale. I reckon your printer is broken.

I used AA route planner before, you can just print the directions without the map bit.
