One Square

[martin_wynne]

Right done that found a square how do I lift it and post it?

 

At: http://www.fonant.com/osmap.html zoom in to the maximum size which shows the OS Landranger maps (200 pixel squares).

 

In Firefox, Tools > Page Info. Then Media tab. Click in the list and then scroll down it using the arrow keys.

 

Each map square will appear below, one at a time. On the required one, click the Save As... button.

 

Change the file name to whatever_you_want.png

 

The .png bit is important.

[skipepsi]

There is something wrong with the way I saved the file I can't even insert it into Word. Most annoying.... I have work to do so if you want to carry on thats OK I won;t be able to get back to this until after one today.

Hi Mick,

 

If you saved the file as I mentioned above, change the file name so that it ends in .png

 

To change a file name, right-click on it and then click Rename.

 

Windows will ask you if you are sure you want to change the file extension. Answer yes.

 

regards,

 

Martin.

I PM'd Skipepsi to ask him which square he wanted.

 

This is the square he was trying to upload. (Hope it's the right one!)

If I gave you the name of the nearest settlement to the east, you`d probably go looking on the M&SWJR - but you would be wrong.

I could have been more specific and said "... you`d probably go looking on the remaining part of  the M&SWJR ...".

Here's two squares, then (original is top left):

I was going to give three squares today, and four tomorrow, if needed. But I'll just give all four today, since I might not be on here tomorrow. Original square is second from left:
