Such a simple question! Getting maps on to paper is far easier said than done. The easiest way is to start with www.openstreetbrowser.org and see if it renders the POIs you want and then simply print the screen. Or cheat and use a photo editor to add the POI afterwards!
The customisable renderers all require quite a bit of setting up. Osmarender by default will only display what's on the OSM site so you will need to add a rule for the POI you want. When you have the SVG file that it generates you will need an editor like Inkscape to print it out. Takes ages to run, though. Kosmos is a bit easier to get going. Well worth a look. Kosmos' replacement, Maperitive, is looking really good so far. It's not mature enough yet for printable maps, but it might do what you need. It can export a Mapnik or Osmarender image as a bitmap and to add a rule to overlay a POI would be easy. This might well do it. Can you be more specific about what you want to do? Mapnik can be set up locally and customised, not for the feint hearted though! Maposmatic is great, but only prints Mapnik at zoom 16. And those are about your choices really, but have a look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_on_Paper Steve > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dirk-Lüder Kreie" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [OSM-newbies] Printing a map > Date: Fri, 09 Apr 2010 20:51:36 +0200 > > > john whelan schrieb: > > Screen resolutions are usually about 75 dpi, my printer can handle 1200 > > dpi 8.5 by 11. > > > > I have an area of interest that doesn't show all the POIs on the screen > > even at the highest level on the screen but they can be seen in JOSM. > > > > Suggestions please on how to get the map printed out on an HP Officejet > > 6500 hopefully with the missing POIs. > > > > The reason its interesting is the missing POI of interest is a store in > > a Mall.
