Annoying OIverlays (getting rid of)

Post by ChrisGreaves »

A minor annoyance only:-
I go to rouge park conservation area and a map pops up (circled in purple on the screen shot)
map01 [640x480].png
It annoys me a bit that part of the access map is covered.
I suspect that it will be impossible to get rid of this feature short of extremely fast reflexes and judicious use of the F5 and PrtScr keys.

I come across this sort of thing more and more and for the life of me can't see why folks who are supposedly trying to provide map data insist on covering up part of the map.

(I know I know, I could go to Google Maps myself ...)

If anyone has an easy, simple solution to this aggravation I'd be de-aggravated.
Thanks

Either click on the map shrinks the "Olverlay"? or follow the link to go to Google Maps.

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

Why didn't I know/think of that? (sigh!) Thanks Leif.

Sorry about that; up half the night reading Good Books and somewhat overdosed on date-slice this morning.
Won't happen again ...
And yes thanks, I know that Google maps is always an option; I was just ticked off at this whole business of covering useful information with useless data ...
