The map you ultimately download from the final choice page is a JPEG image so it's not resizable in your browser unless you know how to create an HTML web page. That would only display it smaller (which may be all you want) - the actual JPEG image would be the exact same physical dimensions and file size as you download. To get a physically smaller scale, you would have to save the image to your computer, open it in some photo editing software, and resize it using that. Then, save it with a different name from the original. Why would you want less detail in a smaller scale map? Most genealogists cry for more detail and larger scale. Good luck, LGO

You can get a free "print screen" program from download.com, I think. The one I have will allow you to capture any portion of the map that you want to print. I am thinking about taking the image to a print shop that does blueprints to make hardcopies, I love maps. > > Why would you want less detail in a smaller scale map?
