WOT-New Google maps

Since this new 'better' version has been forced on us, I can't print a map at anything other than 'tiny' size. 'Googling' doesn't show anything up either. Anyone know the answer?

You can still use the old version if you type: https://maps.google.com/maps?output=classic

Wow! Thank you, Peter.
That newer version is awful and so much less useful, in almost every respect.

Just like iTunes!

Thanks for the heads up Peter. I was originally given the choice, but that recently disappeared. I went to streetmap to print out the map in the end - very simple, which should be a lesson to Google, the print dialogue is not intuitive at all - if it even exists.

I absolutely hate the 'new' Google maps. It flat out sucks.
Fortunately (for now anyway), changing back to Classic Google Maps is easy. Clicking the question mark (?) in the lower/third mid-right bottom gives the "Return to Classic Google maps" option and then a check-list of why you didn't like it. I check all the instances.
