Copying sections of Google Maps

Charlie, Command-shift-three takes a screen shot of your whole screen. Command-shift -four allows you to select certain parts of the screen or picture (as I showed with Dick's map in post #7).

I still have 10.13.6 High Sierra.

That is neat. Thanks for the tip.

On your keyboard there should be a key marked "Print Screen" and all you have to do is bring whatever you want to copy up on the screen and hit that key. It may be on a key that has two choices, like mine has Print Screen upper and SysRq on the bottom of the same key. I have to hit "Shift" and "Print Screen" and the computer copies whatever is on the screen and saves it to the "Clipboard".
Then bring up Word or Paint. In Word right click, then hit "Paste" and the screen that was copied will show up in the new program. In Paint, go to "Edit" then "Paste" and bingo, the copy will show up. Then you can edit it in Paint and save it where you want it to be.
Really Simple!
 
Like this. I used Google maps and the 3D option. Then Prt Scr to copy image.

I can't find it. I cant find the "any" key either (the one they keep asking you to hit). I wonder if it is because I have a MAC?

I think that on the Apple or MAC it would be the F13 key.

On Windows, here is the key: (PrnScrn)

Windows XP ??? That is old, not supported by Microsoft anymore. I think the only ones still using it are the FAA Air Traffic Controllers...... :)
 
It's closing in on 20 years since XP was released. It would be like still working on a 1981 computer (the first IBM PC) in 2001 when XP was released. Time to upgrade. :D
