      I want as much of the image as possible to print out so it's easier to see while driving.

        I know you asked about cropping. However, if these directions were on a Google map, you could just send the directions to your smartphone.

          I can't do anything on my phone, can't see what's on the screen well enough. That's why I like to print out the map but thanks for the tip.

            Joe, you need a bigger phone ๐Ÿ˜‰ I have a 6" LG and I use a magnet clip to attach it to the middle vent on the car to use for pandora, MP3s and maps.
            Works well for me.

              Yeah I know, maybe I need a GPS system, but that's not what I asked about Glenn.

                    Thanks Tig but I need to anoint that image a bit first before I print it out, beside I want to learn how to do it myself.

                      I used Google Maps to get the route from j23A via the roads you showed, I guessed the destination !
                      I then used the scale-zoom tool in the browser to fit all of the text in the one view [80% I think?]
                      I zoomed/panned the blue-route on the map to miss out unnecessary places.
                      I then used the snipping tool to capture what you see [approximating a paper sheet], and saved it as a PNG.
                      I then opened and printed that PNG in the Windows 'Photos' tools, and printed it to a [Windows-]PDF, choosing letter-paper, landscape, shrink-to-fit etc...

                          I think I found my own answer, just change the crop size upper left of this s shot?

                          this was too easy sorry for asking something like this.
