Quick question - how do you save a mapquest map as a file so it can be emailed?

please be somewhat specific as I am a bit challenged

You might try capturing a screen to a file, or you could do an old trick:

Press Alt-Print Screen (copies the contents of the entire screen to the clipboard)

Open up MS Paint and Press Ctrl-V (Pastes the contents of the clipboard)

Save the image as a Bitmap.

Open the image in your favorite image manipulation software and Crop it the way you like and Save As your favorite image type

E-mail the File.


just my $0.02

You used to be able to right click and save pic, but mapquest changed the format.........I just use Yahoo maps now...... easier

Umm... right on the top of the screen... below the Mapquest logo...

it says... Printer Friendly E-mail Sent to Cell... etc

Click the E-mail button.

It will mail the map to you or whomever you want!
