Hi Laurent, I had a look on the MapOSMatic maps you did and they are not satisfying indeed. MapOSMatic has some limitations that can be sometimes bypassed. Please find here<http://maposmatic.org/maps/95148/OpUGIvpoxPvqinur#submitmapform> a map I did that is more. Tips are: not too large area + use a larger document size (here A2) than the one you aim at printing. Use then the print settings: Page Scaling: Tile all pages Tile Scale: 45 %
As I guess your printer is set with A4 or letter as the default size, you will get a map tiled in two. If you have an A3/11x17 large printer, you can print it on a single sheet. Hope this can help you, Sincerely, Severin Message: 3 > Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2013 23:48:09 +0200 > From: Laurent Sava?te <[email protected]> > To: hot <[email protected]> > Subject: [HOT] printing HDM map from osm > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Hello hello, > > I am currently at http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/-5.9185/29.1926, > working for MSF/Doctors without borders. > We're gearing up in preparation for a cholera vaccination campaign, and > quite possibly other emergency actions as the annual cholera epidemic is > looming around. > I have spent several days updating OSM both remotely and locally to get > a decent map of the city (there's still a lot to do though), but I'm now > stuck trying to get a usable printout. > I've tried several options (maperitive, maposmatic, osm bright/tilemill, > QGIS import...) but nothing seems to work (I want a pdf output so I can > print on several A4 pages and tape them together, showing streetnames > and other landmarks).
