Copying sections of Google Maps
Just how does one copy certain sections of Google Maps?
For instance key in on a old Ford assembly plant, then somehow make that into a photo of the plant to put into your scrapbook of photos? Thanks. Pluck |

Re: Copying sections of Google Maps
Screen capture when map is up on your monitor.
Do a Google search for "screen capture pc" or "screen capture mac" for key strokes to do it. On a PC it copies the screen to the clipboard, so you have to paste it to somewhere. On the Mac, it creates a file on your desktop. .

Re: Copying sections of Google Maps
On an Apple, it's easy. A product called "Screenshot" (used to be called "Grab") comes with the OS (the latest is Mojave). You crop the area of the screen you want to save and hit the "Capture" button. It is saved on your desktop as a jpg.
With a PC, it is tougher (as usual). Here's some directions... https://www.digitaltrends.com/comput...eenshot-on-pc/ Here's the Tesla Factory...

Re: Copying sections of Google Maps
On a Mac the key stoke is command-shift-four. Then select what you want. You will hear the sound of a camera and it will appear on your desk top as "Screen Shot" with Date and Time. It is a PNG image. No need for additional Apps.
Section copy of Dick's Map For a screen shot of the whole screen the key stroke is command-shift-three. Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 01-07-2019 at 01:58 PM. |

Re: Copying sections of Google Maps
So here is the next question...YA...I don't want much here...
Now the next question...As one sees the plant from the air on Google Maps...Is there a way to angle the photo from the air view to get a better shot rather than just a roof top photo? I am using Windows. Thanks. Pluck |

Re: Copying sections of Google Maps
That's good information. I've been putting off up-grading to Mohave. I guess Apple ran out of cats to name the upgrades. I think I'm still at 10 and my wife refuses to go beyond 9.0 on her iPad and iPhone.
The Tesla Plant is the old GM plant. I lived in Fremont one year while in college in the early sixties and my roommate worked the night shift at the GM plant from 5 pm to 1 am. He said after work his crew drove down to the nearest bar and a drank as much beer as they could until 2 am. David Serrano |

Better yet, "control" and mouse drag give you whatever 3D you want.

I there is a button on Google Maps to switch from Map View" to "Satellite View". Click on the box in the top right hand corner of Google Maps and it gives you the option to go to Satellite View. David Serrano |

Re: Copying sections of Google Maps
Steve, try Google Earth, its a program you'll have to download it and it is very demanding of resources on a computer.
Otherwise, hit the "3D" button on the menu bar. I'm guessing that street view won't be able to give you a wide enough view for what you're looking for. -Tim

For PC users, go to the satellite view of the map. Hold down the "control" key and drag the mouse with the left button depressed to get the angle view you want.
