Hello Rainer, many thanks for this useful link. Yes a very nice tool - very powerful!
I did a quick check to compare with my implementation in QMS. The Distribution of the pages over the track seems to be same. I see no big differences. But depending on margin and overlap a different number of pages will be computed. Mapline: + You can set well known scales like 1:25.000, 1:50.000. Very nice! + Page Markers to previous and next pages + Printing quality seems to be a bit better then my printing output + Margins and overlap can be controlled + Distance information (10km, 20km, ...) + Real time update when changing parameters (You see what you get) + More page information from km - to km for each page My implementation in QMS: + Integrated in QMS + No upload to a foreign server - Unusable scales like 1:23.950, 1:35.900, because I am using predefined QMS zoom factors, managed by mouse wheel + More scenery can be added (Waypoints, other tracks, track information) all the information of the QMS canvas will be printed + Page Markers to previous and next pages, but only small markers instead of lines + Margins and overlap can be controlled + Real time update when changing scale and parameters (You see what you get) + Printing directly to a printer, not only to PDF - No Distance information (10km, 20km, ...) - but no big deal to implement this as well - No more page information from km - to km for each page, - but no big deal to implement this as well I have upload my test track and two PDFs, one from Mapline, and one from QMS. Feel free to evaluate and let me known what you think. https://cloud.karl-karsten.de/index.php/s/DWqXHnjWqTcpNtT Karl ... -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Von: rainerU <[email protected]> An: [email protected] Betreff: Re: [Qlandkartegt-users] Tipps and Tricks needed for printing maps in higher quality Datum: Fri, 24 Apr 2020 15:26:31 +0200 Hi Karl, Am 24.04.20 um 13:41 schrieb Karl Karsten: I am just working on an enhancement for printing my bicycle tracks. My basic Idea is that the paper sheets are following the track, so that the track is best fitted in the pages and the consumption of paper is on an acceptable level. For this part of the job there is a nice tool: https://sgelb.github.io/demo/mapline It is in "demo" status since longtime but it works perfectly. It automatically splits the map along a GPX track into pages for printing. However, map detail is rather low.
