      Hi Joe - also I have difficulty recognizing the maps from Google. So, when I do trip preparations in your way, instead Google Maps I usually use openstreetmap.org since the maps there are graphically done a little better (at least for me). Additionally I make comments with the free tool "Greenshot" like faked below which I can recommend to you...

        That looks good Horn,

        do I need to sign up to use the maps?

                  πŸ˜„ πŸ˜„ Frikadellen is the German word for meatballs(?), similar to hamburger pattys, but thicker and somewhat rounder - hmmm, very tasty for non-vegetarians. Dinkel is a type of grain and the typical cereal here, which forms the clichΓ© for vegetarian food here which is not true of course πŸ˜‰

                  So, for non-vegetarians using "Dinkel-" in front of:
                  -Hamgurger
                  -Steak
                  -Sausage etc. etc
                  always describes the vegetarian variant here, even when Dinkel (spelt?) is not in the play πŸ˜„

                    I learn so much here πŸ™‚

                    so what adjustment would be best for the image I first posted?? Just the contrast? Sorry I'm not really a graphics person.

                      ... sorry πŸ˜„
                      for me it is ok for printing as it is - but yes, increasing the contrast is not wrong, especially if the note is lying on the passenger seat...

                        Thanks guys! I have another question, can I export vector from SUp? I don't really know what vector is. I think a dwg or dxf are vector files?

                          Darn, I can't export dwg or dxf now, makes SUp 2015 crash! I used to be able to export dxf, any ideas why this image as a dxf is crashing? I have it set for Hidden Line? Darn!

                            OK I was able to export eps files which my client can use.

                            I can export this 1st image as a dxf, but the 2nd causes the splat. Would anyone have any ideas why this happens? Please excuse my questions!

                            EDIT- I thought it might be all the text in the 2nd image so I hid it, but still got the dreaded splat!
