the real question here is, what was the reason for printing directions? I think I also used MapQuest the last time I printed directions, 7 or 8 years ago? My phone just tells me when i need to turn now....

Last time we did a road trip (around Arizona) we had to think very carefully about when we would plot the next part of the route on Google Maps because there were long stretches where we had no internet connection. Next time I'm going to take along some print outs as backups.

- superuser2 11y agoCellular data for a tablet (or mobile hotspot) is upwards of $20/mo for many people. I would venture that the majority of tablets in existence are WiFi only devices and not useful on the highway.

- tvmalsv 11y agoIn my case, I was just trying to get a simple copy of the map image. Since the map is made up of a grid of smaller images (and besides, google intercepts the right click), I can't just right click and save as. So, I would just go to the print version to get access to the map as a single image I can right click on. I just visited another google map page and even after this discussion, I still don't see where I can get to the printer-friendly page. Does it even exist anymore?
