I don't, but it is perfectly reasonable to expect to be able to print off a map for use away from the computer e.g. in the car or out walking or cycling if you don't have a sat-nav. That is not an infringement of copyright if it's for your own use and not republished elsewhere. Anyway I didn't mention that to streetmap - only the fact that the new interface doesn't work on any RISC OS browser. I subsequently found that NS2.9 would still render the maps and possibly other versions with JS off. My point about extracting map images was inaccurate. In fact I just delete all the extraneous stuff, leaving the actual map to be printed on A4. I normally used Fresco because the saved draw files are compatible with my printer whereas NetSurf's aren't due to 32-bit colour sprites. -- Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
