    Try using Cmd + minus to shrink the browser window's elements, which should increase the screen area rendered on that smaller screen area.

    I think the Macbook Air has a default screen resolution of 1440 x 900.  The advert panel is only 190 pixels wide, so it shouldn't take up much space - just 13% of the width of the screen.  It would be worth checking what screen resolution you have in your settings - if it is set much lower then increasing it would give you a much biegger map area.  You can do this under System Preferences, Displays, Scaled.

    Thanks for your feedback Guy.  Can you let me know what device you are using please?  On a desktop computer the route planner advert should only take up a relatively small part of the width of the screen.  If you are using a tablet then the route planner needs to be used in landscape format.

    Alternatively, you can use our mobile route planner on a tablet (click the Mobile Site link at the bottom of the page) - this version of the route planner is designed for use on smaller screens (hence has no adverts) and has a user interface which is more suited to touch screen devices.

    We are also hoping to add a low cost ad-free subscription option in the new few months as well.

    I have also been "hit" with these adverts today making a great site virtually unworkable but I don't want to stop using the site as it is very user friendly.  Are you saying that these ads are a format that is going to remain?  If so I am out of here but would be happy to pay a subscription otherwise.  I appreciate you need to advertise  but the massive format is so intrusive it is simply easier to go elsewhere

    Thank you John for our help. Indeed the problem was the pop-up blocking.

    Can you let me know what browser and device you are using please?  A new tab/window should open with a print preview after selecting the print options and pressing Print.  Do you have a pop-up blocker of some sort installed by any chance?  It could be that this is preventing our site from opening the new window with the print preview.  I would recommend temporarily disabling any browser add-ons or pop-up blocking sofwtare that you have installed to see if this helps.

    Hi John,

    When I activate the print function at the top of the open window of the selected route a small print window opens within the route window, then I activate 'print the route' button on the right hand side of the print window. Then the print window closes and nothing happens after that.

    Hi Claude - Can you give me a bit more information about what happens and I'll try my best to help?  I'm not aware of any problems with exporting and printing from the site, so it may be a local problem.  It would be worth trying a different browser.

    I can not print or export any of my routes. Please advise what I should do to correct the problem.
