Printing

Print composes a map sheet from what is on the map: the layers that are on, the basemap, and — if you want — your drawings. The sheet has a legend, a scale bar and a north arrow, and is made at a true scale, so a distance measured on paper with a ruler matches the scale printed on it.

1. Open Print in the rail.
2. Give the sheet a Title (the app's name to begin with).
3. Choose the Format: A4, A3 or A2, landscape or portrait, or one of your organisation's own layouts.
4. Choose the Scale: the current one, rounded to a standard scale, or a fixed one from 1:500 to 1:5 000 000.
5. Choose the File (PDF or PNG) and the Resolution (300 dpi for printing, 150 dpi for the screen).
6. Tick Coordinate grid to draw a grid in the coordinate system shown at the bottom of the map, and Include drawings to print your drawings too.
7. Compose sheet. After a few seconds, Download gives you the file.

Printing needs you to be signed in, also in a public app.

Your organisation's own layouts — its logo, text, a second map, a different arrangement — are made in Studio: see Styles and print layouts.
