I wrote my first letter to Google with a suggestion. It’s interesting to note that this is the first time I can recall a change to the Google system being what I consider a step backward. Not a bad track record<\/p>\n

\nSubject: recent changes to GMaps Directions printing is bad<\/p>\n

I very much dislike the new way that GMaps Directions print out. The new Google Map printing system was installed in the last few days before July 25th, 2006<\/p>\n

It is very important to me that I see the entire local area of my destination. With the new system, I can’t see it.<\/p>\n

It’s important because:<\/p>\n

– GMaps are occationally hard to follow in the final few turns of a map
\n– I want to see cross streets so I know when I am close
\n– I want to see the local area so the map is useful if someone asks me to “go around the corner” from my stated destination.<\/p>\n

Please put the ability to have large maps back into the printing feature of Google Maps.<\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/p>\n
