Custom Printing Tool for the Custom Maps

Dave,

That would be a good thing -- I think that might be possible -- I'll look into it.

We recently received a support question about printing driving directions. Here is a bit more about that:

1. You can print the map with whatever attractions you’ve included on the saved map, but we don’t offer driving directions. So there are no directions of any kind.

* We decided early on, not to provide directions, because our RTA members liked reading maps and felt this was too intrusive.

I looked at your account and saw that you’ve created two saved maps – Excellent work
(I can’t actually view your maps, all I can see is the enabling data sets – maps are private to you alone – unless you share them!)

So, the way you can get a printed map is:

1. Open the Advanced map page https://www.roadtripamerica.com/maps/mapcenter.php
2. Click on one of your two saved maps (either “xxxxx” or “xxxxxx” – the latter has more attractions on it)
3. Scroll down the page and you will see a “Print Saved Map” button (Click on that)
4. This opens the Print Set-up page, where you can select a bunch of different options for your printed map:
a. Check all (give the entire data pool)
b. Or you can select what kinds of information you want on the map
c. After making your selections, click on “Print Setup”
5. The next screen shows what will be printed
a. If all looks good
b. Look for the Printer symbol above the map pane and click “Print”

The only caveat is that you need to have POP-UP WINDOWS ENABLED on your browser, because that’s how this program works.
