When viewing a map, how can I remove the pink pointers?

enter image description here

This is just for viewing the map in my browser, and not having them removed from Google Maps.

The "pink pointers" show the location of the results for your query. There's no way to remove them other (moreover, it's just pointless to do that). – dnbrv Mar 26 '12 at 16:04

@dnbrv I'd sometimes want to take a screenshot of the map or parts of it, but without that pointer. – galacticninja Mar 27 '12 at 5:22

Mouse over the controls on the upper right of the map - it says satellite and possibly traffic. Other controls will roll out once you mouse over this area.

You'll see a control that allows you to remove the search result from the map by 'unchecking' next to the business name or search term.enter image description here
