How can I print the map?
According to http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/help/terms_local.html you should not print the map because this is regarded as copying it. The terms only allow the map to be displayed on the web page.How do I use a map?
Pan
This moves the map up and down and from side to side. Much like sliding a page around on a desk in front of you. Click and hold the map using your left mouse button and then move your mouse to move the map OR use the pan buttons :
Simply click on one of the arrows to map the map along in that direction by one notch.
Zoom
Use the slider along the left hand side to zoom the map in or out :
This will make an area larger so that you can see more detail.
Map Type
Use the Map Type Buttons to change the type of map displayed :
The 3 buttons show the following views:
- Map - A simple view that shows land, water, borders, cities and roads
- Satellite - A real life image of the area in question captured from a satellite. Some areas of the earth have a higher resolution than others such as large cities or tourist attractions.
- Hybrid - A combination or Map and Satellite views

If there was a way to purchase access to this tool so that I could have printed documents without copyright infringement, I would be interested in doing so.
