Can someone help me to be able to include a print screen shot to GPS Team Challeng. The problem started when I changed over to a Mac (Maverick) computer. Seems odd that I can email this screen shot to a mates Windows PC ok.
I prefer not to partition the Mac to a mac- windows PC.

Just paste it into iphoto, or whatever photo app you have on your mac, then save it as a jpeg and upload it from there.

How are you attempting to do it atm? If you're taking a screen shot, then there's better ways of getting the image with less fussing around. This is how I do it...


Upload KA72 Google Map Image to GPSTC:

1. Upload the gps file via KA72. The Results page opens.
2. Click the Google Earth Overlay link at the bottom of the Results page. The Google Earth Overlay page opens.
3. On the Google Earth Overlay page, click the link (called, this link). You will be prompted to open the file or save it. Choose to open the file with Google Earth (obviously, you'll need the full Google Earth application installed on your computer for this step). Google Earth will open and you'll see your tracks like you did in the Overlay.
4. In Google Earth, click the second button from the right on the top toolbar called Save Image.
5. Choose to save the image as a .jpg or whatever your preferred format is, to wherever you want to save it.
6. You can then add the saved image to your GPSTC page/results.

Finally got it. My pc skills are lacking so the step by step method was most helpful.
Thanks grumplestiltskin and Nigel
