Placing a Vicinity Map from Google Maps screen capture

[Anonymous]

I have attempted with only some success to place a Vicinity Map from a Google Maps screen capture (JPG). I place the JPG on a Worksheet and link to the Layout. Do you know of a good way to get a higher resolution output. Often the imported is very faded so that street names do not show.

Jay:
I use PDFs instead JPG for the consistent look and resolution. Seems to work well.

I was just using screen capture software (Greenshot) to clip the Google Map. I can save as JPG, GIF, PNG or BMP.

How are you saving as PDF? is the Resolution good?

I use the print function on my MAC to save as PDF direct from Google Maps as a screen shot - open in Preview and print. The resolution seems to be very good when printed in the box on my title sheet. I tried to send a view as an attachment on the last reply -- no success. Will try again...AHHH my file even though cropped a lot is still 982 K - too big.
