Place map tiles from a mapping website

To place tiles from a mapping website into a TrailRunner document, you can either drag and drop the images from the web browser or you can make screens shots of the map area and paste these into the document.

Dragging images

Not all mapping websites support dragging of images. If you click and drag an image and you see a ghost image, drop it onto the TrailRunner document window.

If the mapping application scrolls instead, you need to paste screenshots as described below (as is the case with GoogleMaps).

Making Screenshots

Use the screenshot from selection command of MacOS X to copy parts of a map image into your document.
