I need some advise on how to do something in Suse 10.0. I know how to do it in Windows, but not in Linux.
I have a google maps web page showing our property, which is 23 acres. I want to do a screen capture, (printing to a file does not print the graphics in either opera or firefox) pull it into a graphics editor and do an outline drawing like you can do in Micrografix. I then want to add some things like where the water lines are along with their turnoffs and where the buried electrical lines are.
Most browsers can save images they're displaying separately and / or copy the URL used to retrieve that image to the clipboard so you can download it using curl or wget. In Mozilla and Firefox, both these functions are available via the context menu--right-click on the image to display that menu, which includes the commands "Copy Image Location" and "Save Image As...".
From there, there are several image editing applications you could use to add the overlays you need. Gimp is the high end, of course, being comparable to Photoshop.
Any suggestions on how to do this in Linux?

Apparently, Google disables that in both Opera & Firefox. I can do it on another website, but not on maps.google.com with the satellite photo. Ksnapshot works good though. Art
