Are there copyright issues if I want to use a map in a publication for sale or use it on a commercial website? Is permission needed from Apple?
James: I'd imagine there are copyright issues. But I'm not a lawyer so I don't know for sure. You'd probably be better off using stock maps from a service for things like that.

I have not tried it but I think I know why the “Print > Open in Preview” option cuts off the borders of what is displayed in Maps. Could it be related to the printer margin settings?
Douglas: I don't think so. I just think it prints to the size of paper which is a different ratio than the window.

Great video Gary, never thought to do anything like this. Great ideas for every example you mentioned. The iMovie portion I know I will be using next time, excellent idea. 👍🏻

I have created travel videos to share with family and friends. I often will open Quicktime and activate Screen Recording. Then i will record a large map that then pans and zooms into the geographic area that my travel video is about. In the video editing app, i start with this recording of the map and transition to the photos and videos i took while at the location.

I always learn so much from you. Thank you for the excellent videos and information. And on the few occasions I’ve needed to contact you directly, you have been most expedient in responding. I appreciate that. You’re the best!
