Does anyone know of a PDF writer product that supports terminal services printer mapping? I have an application that I wan to server through terminal services. This application allows the user to print out forms specific to their industry that are prepopulated with the information from the application. Rather than print them to paper, I want them to be able to print them out to PDF, but since I'm using terminal services to provide the application, I need to map the local PDF writer program (CutePDF) over the Remote Desktop session, and I can't get it to work.

How do I determine which gas company services my new home? My real estate agent gave me a company name, but they claim to not service that street. I've called 3 companies, and all say that it is one of the other two. Is there a website with a service map available so I can look it up? I haven't moved in yet, so I don't know my neighbors. There are at least 10 gas companies in the metro area, and many don't have maps. Guess I'm going to keep calling.

Do any online maps show Golden Ears Bridge near Vancouver? Golden Ears Bridge, a huge bridge over the Frasier River, opened in June. It is not on Google, Mapquest or Yahoo maps. This is a massive embarrassment to all three services. Also, all three still show the Albion Ferry, which was closed shortly after the bridge opened. Is there any mapping service that will correctly measure travel times using that bridge?
Will the PRC soon shutdown Google Earth mapping? "China is launching a national campaign this year to crack down on illegal online mapping services with the aim of reducing the amount of sensitive and confidential information revealed by the sites. Li Jingwei, general manager of Star Geomatics Park Investment Co Ltd, said that the illegal mapping services exist mainly because the mapping industry is in its infancy and few people know about the legal process they should follow if they want to provide mapping services. "Many mapping providers do not know the importance of mapping services and that is part of the problem," Li said. He added that the crackdown will help the healthy development of the country's mapping industry. The bureau started supervising online mapping services in May. It is calling on companies offering the services to apply for a license before March 31 if they want to continue. More than 100 domestic and overseas companies that provide online mapping services have so far received licenses allowing them to continue. Another 100 are in the process of applying. Google, which offers extensive mapping services, is understood not to have applied, according to an earlier report. The bureau said it will take action after July 1 against any unlicensed mapping service providers." http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?cid=1101&MainCatID=11&id=20110324000027 And... "The bureau punished three Germans who illegally collected geographic information in Yichang, Hubei Province, and who later mapped the information on computers." Is this just another case of the Chinese government encouraging foreigners to invest in and conduct business there, and then later changing the rules of the game in their favor so as to fine, punish, or drive out "competitors" once they themselves have mastered the technology?

Is subscription required for GPS services for the iphone? I have learned that subscription is required for GPS associated services such as "Drive" , "Walk" and "Guide" for the Nokia Maps application. I am wondering if this is the same case for the Apple iphone. Are these additional features free or is subscription required? Also does GPS work with WiFi only or does it need 3G in order to work? If so, does 3G charge per minute or something similar
Is there an online map service that can provide a driving travel radius? I'm looking for a map system that starts with a location and then can map out a travel radius from that location. For example, I'm asked at work to develop a field trip that goes to a destination that must be within a certain distance or amount of time driving. It would also be nice if this accounts for speed limit differences for cars vs buses.
How do I get my address updated on internet and GPS maps? I live in a fairly new condo complex. They are coming up on their 3 year anniversary of being built.

Does anyone know of a mapping software program? I'm looking for a software program that can search and remember specific addresses. For instance what a delivery service or school bus company may use. The details I need are addresses, including rural, km's, map graphics, and the program needs to be able to keep the route info and allow changes when necessary. Any ideas? I have tried Google Maps but unless I'm missing something it doesn't let you enter a lot of addresses or keep the route. Also for security reasons I would prefer something not online.
How can i find out where utility lines are buried in the ground? I'm in the US, and we have a service where utility companies have a locater do essentially this.

Plus, they take a really long time if they get out there. Are there any map services online or anything?

How accurate are online map times ? I was just curious if anyone knows how accurate times are when using online map services like Mapquest ? For example from NC to NY is about 700 miles and Mapquest says it will take about 12 hours. Do you think that is based on driving right at the speed limit ? Anyone know if there is a site where you can enter your MPH to calculate travel time ? Thanks everyone.

Can theft of services be applied to the use of a parking permit found online? I am currently attending a certain university in Pennsylvania. The university does not have many parking areas. I had a friend come to the university, and park outside my residence hall. I then looked on the university website for the regulations regarding visitor parking, and posted online (as part of a campus map) was a parking permit. So, I printed it out and hung it in the windshield of my friend's van. However, we soon received a phone call from the police saying that they were at the van and because it is a "fake" permit, we were being charged with Theft of Services, a criminal charge. My question is, I did not technically forge any permits, and honestly thought the permit printed out would be enough to let us park there for an hour or two (at which point we were going to move it), so can I be charged with Theft of Services instead of just a simple parking ticket?
What's the best way to get a new street on maps? I'm living in a house that's located in a fairly new subdivision (5 years old). None of the online maps have my street listed, in fact, the local map published by the Sheriff Dept still does not include it. What's the best way to have the map services recognize a new street in immediately?
Which map service is the best? I've used Yahoo! Maps and Google Maps. Yahoo! Maps had me get off the highway, take a service road for one mile and then get back on the highway. WHY? Google Maps had me looking for a non-existant exit. "Exit 1C. There is 1C. It goes 1A, 1B, and then 2A." Paper maps tend to be the most accurate but they don't pinpoint addresses. Rand McNally's mapping service has the numbered streets in my town going east/west instead of north/south.

What are all the dot Google dot com services? The obvious services are maps (which was still an untested beta when it was found by someone online and shared), gmail, froogle, etc. By accident people have discovered and shared the unadvertised and ulisted services like Google Real Estate, Calendar, Answers, etc. Despite not sharing them, some people have also found jobs.google.com, which is a site for job listings exclusively at Googles office locations. Im curious as to whether there are other Google services that are out there and not known to a lot of people.
