You can quickly capture and download map screenshots in Local Insight to use in reports, presentations, or internal communications. This guide walks you through exactly how to do that.
Step 1: Load the data you want to include
Before taking a screenshot, make sure you’ve loaded the relevant data on the map. You can include indicators or custom areas.

Step 2: Click the Screenshot icon
Once your data is visible, click the camera icon located at the top-right of the map panel. This opens the screenshot tool.
Step 3: Configure your screenshot
You’ll see a few options:
Show legend: Toggle this on if you’d like the data legend to appear on your screenshot.
Zoom & pan: Adjust the map view using zoom or pan. Only the map visible within the screenshot frame will be captured.
Step 4: Capture and preview
Click Capture when ready. A preview of your screenshot will appear.
From here, you can:
Try again to adjust and retake the shot.
Download a PNG version to save the image.
Download a map report (Word) to get a Word document that includes more detail about the indicator shown.
Tip
The closer you zoom in, the more detail will appear. Make sure to frame your area of interest clearly.
