Can anyone tell me how to download a screen shot from Google maps

The maps are so handy when trying to explain exactly where a spot is, or if you are looking for new fishing ground.

If you quickly just want to screen capture the window then hit ALT+Printscreen and it will copy the active window (just using printscreen will capture everything showing on your monitor) of the image to your clipboard, then paste it into paint or your outlook email and your done. Otherwise if you want to get into more detail download one of the aps as Likc suggested.
