    I dont think you can. Its an iframe, not an image so cant be embedded in STW forum. (* not a geek, so prob not correct)

    You could take a screen dump, host it and then link, but it would be static pic.

    Why do you need a screen grab in the first place? You know you can link to co-ordinates on google?

    This is what you were trying to link to I believe: linky

    If you really must post a screen grab, you could upload to flickr or something

    You use the print screen function usually alt F? Then open up word or photoshop and paste into it.

    Now, can anyone tell me which town/city is in the screen shot?

    I’d go for Chester.

    But then the fact it has a symbol and the words Chester Guildhall, was a bit of a give away 😆
