Default Printing web site maps

How do you print a web site map, as often supplied when Googling a
business, when I can't select it to print, and it doesn't show up on a page
print. Site deternines what can't be selected and printed so I'm out of
luck?

TIA

Default Printing web site maps

If all else fails, I've sometimes used Print Screen to capture the desktop
image, and then paste it into Wordpad and print it from there. But I just
tried Google Maps and am able to print it from within the browser, so I
don't know what's different about your setup.

And that would be inside WHICH web browser that you are viewing the map?
Zim zim, a la bim, the spirits are about to speak. What? Huh? Sorry,
the batteries in my crystal ball are too weak to hear the spirits. Will
take 6 months on backorder before I can get new batteries.

I don't use Internet Explorer (ancient) or Edge (doesn't support
add-ons, anyway). In Firefox, I used to use the Nimbus Screenshot
Capture add-on. It is a legacy add-on so it will die when Mozilla kills
off legacy (non-WebExtension) add-ons in Firefox 57. Another (still a
legacy) add-on is Pearl Crescent's Page Saver. With either you can
select a section of a web page to capture or the entire web page. They
can save the image into the Windows clipboard, into a png or jpg file,
or print it.

Pearl Crescent is available only as a legacy Firefox add-on. Its author
says he needs help to create a WebExt version of his add-on -- which
means it won't happen. Nimbus is available for either Firefox or Google
Chrome. As yet, they only have the legacy add-on for Firefox; however,
since they have a Chrome version, too, and because that uses WebExt
add-ons (to which Mozilla is migrating but with some further
enhancements), Nimbus should be able to come out with a WebExt version
for Firefox (I suspect they'll wait for a catastrophic release method;
i.e., wait until Firefox 57 is released and users start to complain
their legacy add-on gets killed).

Some of the various Google map methods, store 256x256 image
files in some sort of cache folder. And gluing a set of those
together, might give a complete map. When you pan, scroll, and
zoom, the map software downloads more squares. When the cache is
full, old squares are tossed out. Not all the squares would mesh,
because they could easily be at different scales. Squares that
are "close in time" in terms of creation date, stand the best
chance of meshing.

If you had no other way, there's that method. I don't think
the protocol used, necessarily grabs a complete 1920x1080 image
for your HD-sized screen. But the software may be using smaller
"tiles" that when glued together make the screen-sized display.

If you use Agent Ransack, do a search on C: with the filename
line blank, you get a list of all files. If you sort by date,
the items at the top of the list will likely be the latest
cache entries. Move the map position a little bit to one size,
run the search again, sort by date, notice what new files
were added at the top of the list.

The cache folders don't use file extensions. The file might
be "ABCD1234" and a Windows user cannot tell what is in the file.
You need a copy of the "file.exe" utility, to quickly sort the
types in a cache folder. This is also available in the Win10
Bash shell option (as the "file" command), for those who don't
want to work hard to make this work.

bash
...
cd /mnt/C/path/to/cache/folder
file *

And you would get a list of all the files in the folder, and
whether they were JPG, BMP, HTML, or whatever.

You could point IrfanView at the folder, and get thumbnails
that way. And that's a Windows-way of doing it. Presumably
Irfanview doesn't care about extensions when doing that
sort of thing.

A "ton of fun" awaits you. I can tell you're impressed already.

The smaller webpage maps, like the map for how to get to
the local Walmart, on the walmart.com web site, those
are unlikely to be quite as sophisticated. The image
in that case, is probably just a single image file.
You can use the same technique as above, only you'll be looking
in the browser cache, instead of a Google Earth cache.

If you give us a sample URL, or tell us what info you typed
into Google Earth, it makes it easier to follow along here.

If there's an address associated with the map, copy the address on the page.

Open Google Maps, paste the address into the search field, press return,
and you'll likely have the map you need, and print.

Note, be careful, the location Google Maps gives you may not be
accurate. There's a local PC repair shop that's in a small mall-like
area, but Google Maps has the shop in the middle of a forest.
