An image is worth a 1000 words!!!
Now with your example is more than clear the right and the wrong format.
Just teach me to do it and I'll post HD screenshots like you

I don't know exactly. There are many ways to do it. Yours is FINE. Just a bit distorted...
Since a screenshot is reduced it may be possible that a tab in the "Image Dimension" of your software isn't "proportionally scaled".
I.e. in my case, the box for Scale proportionally is checked:

Again, there are so many ways to transfer a screenshot that "my" way is not necessarily the easiest or the best. Your's fine...

Here is the first smart I ever saw "in the wild" here in the USA in March '08, a bumblebee cabrio usually parked around Tilden St./Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington, DC.

Neither this one, nor the one above, are Members...
Some 37,700+ to go!

Lets not use France next time. smarts are born there!

Lets go in the US where smarts are rare...lets see who can find a roadster in the US...

So far, no luck for me. Google hadn't updated Illinois ever since early 2007 .

Let me be the first to say that Google had updated Illinois...but not in a good way

This is what's found by searching "smart center Lake Bluff"

On the one side of the light (look at the sign and storefront).




And with just one click we go from 2007 to mid 2008! (look at the orphans and sign).






They should really update EVENLY!!!!

if anything, this is anti-smart. I guess google finished mapping this area too early, thus the obvious LACK of smarts in this picture




I guess I can't cheat in this thread. Then agian, all the pictures from Paris are basically cheating since those are everywhere.

Interestingly though, when you take a overhead satellite view of the area, you notice how most (80% or more) M-Bs are either Black White or Silver. What ever happened to color?
