Hi Michael, this is usually what GPS devices or smartphones are used for. For instance I do not print maps at all. It's the other way around. I digitize papermaps to be used by QMapShack and my GPS. The only feature I use, is to export the map with a track to a bitmap. To be part of a photo album.
I know some users print the map with a track to be used for orientation on a bike tour. But for the sole purpose of a map I think a good commercial hiking map is way better investment than printing maps from the internet. Oliver Am Mittwoch, 31.
