Rob,
The "trick" in finding Sunbeam Specialties is in knowing that it is in =
Campbell
and not in Los Gatos. They are at 765 McGlincey Lane. I searched for =
it and found it successfully plus I was able to print the map on my HP =
LaserJet 4L.
I previously tried to print a map on another (I think) service but the =
map wouldn't
print.

Not bad, I tried it a couple of different time and it didn't list any of =
the
roads I was trying to use. I was trying to make a map to Sunbeam
Specialties in Los Gatos, Ca. It didnt even have a road close to his
location and it is in a metropolitan area.=20
so I guess map quest must be taken with a grain of salt -=20
