title: How to view Google Maps in "print" mode?
body: <p>I'm using the Google Maps API v2 and I'd like to be able to print the map the same way as Google does on its Maps page.</p>
  
  <p>You can click the little printer icon and it creates a new popup window with the same map but all the unprintable stuff (like the controls) is taken out.
  I know that they use <code>@media print</code> to achieve that effect when you hit "Print preview" or "Print" in the navigator. However, the popup window isn't in print mode.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way of doing the magic trick they're doing, like setting the current media type to "print"? Or or they cheating and setting a custom CSS style cheat?</p>
  
  <p>I've got a Silverlight plugin and a Google Map on the same page and I want to be able to create a popup window containing just the map ready for printing (like Google is doing).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks to <a href="http://abcoder.com/google/google-map-api/print-button-for-google-map-api/" rel="noreferrer">http://abcoder.com/google/google-map-api/print-button-for-google-map-api/</a> I know how to get the HTML content but I can only get the content with all the controls etc on it (which I don't want).</p>
  
  <p>Any help will be appreciated.</p>
