Google Maps + Google Local

Not that many days ago Google merged Google Maps with Google Local. The Google Maps Plugins still seem to work OK (except for the phone number feature, which I’m working on). What I have noticed though is that printing — at least on the Mac — doesn’t seem very good anymore. I use Google Maps on a regular basis for my service business and since the merger, when I print maps out, the address isn’t printed, along with most of the street names. I imagine this is just a bug and I’ve reported it to Google as such, though it seems to be an important function that’s missing considering that Google Maps is now out of Beta.

I wanted to make the users of the Google Maps Plugin aware of the changes if they weren’t already. I’ll update the content of the website when I get the chance.
