You could use Google maps or do a search for Street map in google or other search engine for different maps then you can just do a screenshot of map and save as a picture (jpg etc) then open pic in your photo editing software program (paint, paint.net, photoshop etc) and place your people on it where you want, then save it and you have a pic that you can insert into word etc.

If you don't want the google marker of the street showing in your pic, choose a street that is nearby but not in the area you want in your pic, then grab the screen and move the map view to the part you do want.

Tip: work on a copy of the map screenshot picture you have saved then you can easily go back to original to make another copy with no people on it and start again.

puma There is a very basic photo software in W7 - Paint. But it is too basic. There are lots of paid for photo editing programmes, varying in price from £600 for Photoshop CS5 (professional use) to free. Of the free ones many here reccomend Paint. net:

I would download and play with it. To get a good screen shot , in W7 there is a useful utility: Snipping tool. I have a shortcut of it in my task bar - to get it go to start/all programmes/accessories Snipping tool, then right click and pin to task bar. Get your Google map up on screen and launch snipping tool; drag it to snip it bit you want. then copy the snip. Open the software of paint then paste the snip.Look at help on Paint.net to see how to use layers.
