I went to openstreetmap and homed in on the area of interest, but did not see any obvious way to print the result, so I did a screen capture and printed it. It was extremely faded out, almost unreeadable. So I opened the capture in irfanview and tried to increase the contrast and gamma, but the printout was only slightly better. How do you print out a map with usable contrast? (I am using a mono laser printer). asked 03 May '12, 19:21  STMRadio |

I also tried "print" directly in the browser, it was almost just a gray sheet of paper. Surely I am not the first person with this problem. Secondary question: I am trying to aim my tv antenna toward the transmitter, and need to find the angle off due north. I will use the faded out print I have, but are there any online tools that can produce such information? (Note: SIMPLE TO USE, NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED)
