Let's Call it A "Feature"

Given that the skies hadn't opened up to dump buckets today, I decided to venture south to Tacoma to shoot some pictures with the lenses I'd rented over the weekend (50mm macro and 24-105mm IS USM L). Seeing that I wasn't super familiar with the sights in the city that used to be known for its aroma, I scoured the internets looking for points of interest, parks, museums, etc. After choosing a few promising locations, what a better way to plot my route for the day with anything other than, yes, GoogleMaps. I created a Tacoma Photo Shoot Map in MyMaps, complete with each stop, hit the print button, and voila, I'm ready to pop out the door! Snatching the fruits of my labor from the monstrous all-in-one that is my printer, I noticed that not only were all my beautiful pins with their addresses/titles not on the page, but it wasn't even centered the way it was on the site..

So, mental note. Use GoogleMaps to plot locations, but have your handy dandy marker out and ready to duplicate your efforts if your planning on going mobile.
