Just my 2 cents:
* Why printing maps? Because there is no paper map. Why is there no papermap? Possible answer: It's an online map. In that case we are very close to leeching. The user can't do that automatically. The user has to do it manually by viewing the map along the track on the right zoom level. As complaining about UX is en vogue this will offer a lot of space for critics.
* Why implementing something if there are already services that does the job well enough?
* About resolution: The map view is drawn to the printer object. And the printer object reders everything to the resolution of the printer. The printer driver will resample this to the real resolution of the printer. Ideally the resolution of the printer object and the real printer is the same. This will lead to a good result. If it's not the resampling might freate fuzzy/bad results.
* To fit into the existing UX this has to be part of the print select tool. It should be a 3rd button. When triggered all tracks within the selection are captured. There should be a preview (trackplot) with the tiles to print as rectangles. The rest is more or less the same as for the normal printing.

Hello Michael,
I will answer in English, so all can follow the thread.
I have no problem to integrate it in the main repository, so that all can use it.
But so far I have no idea how to combine it with the existing printing dialog (CTRl-D).
If we can integrate it aside to the existing dialog and we can accept that we have two printing dialogs then I see it will not a big deal to pull it into the main repo.
But when we have to "marriage" it with the existing on, then I have no idea how to do it. Maybe a developer with more skills are needed.
In the next days I will open an issue in Git. Then we can discuss with the development experts (Oliver &Co.) and we will see how to approach.
I have uploaded the results of the "versions of the day" (V2) here: https://cloud.karl-karsten.de/index.php/s/DWqXHnjWqTcpNtT
There is also an example gpx file in it. Feel free to find a better solution. If you will see your track as PDF, please send it to me. The more tracks to test the better.
Still I am quite disappointed by the printing quality when printing the PDF to paper or directly from QMS to my Inkjet printer.
So far I have no better results then in the V2 of Rurtour.pdf.
I will check in the next days by printing to Laserprinter to check the influence of the hardware printer.
But I guess it depends on the resolution of the maps, showing the map to roughly.
More information on printing quality are welcome.
Karl ...
PS: Ohh, before I forget. There is a really powerful option to display the track over the slope in a colorize range. Then when on tour you see right away when you have to take the next Snickers chocolate bar :-)

Hallo Karl,
vor zwei Jahren stand ich vor dem Problem, mir (Übersichts-)Karten füreine Radreise zu erstellen. Erst habe ich es mit QMS versucht, war abererfolglos. So bin ich damals auf mapline gestoßen und habe es seitdemverwendet - und auch für mich privat ein bisschen erweitert.Daher wäre ich echt an dem interessiert, was Du da entwickelst. Versteheich es richtig, dass Du das aber bisher nur mal für Dich gemacht hastund es noch nicht verfügbar ist?Zur Inspiration hier mal ein Beispiel für einen Track mit meinerangepassten version:https://send.firefox.com/download/683945954f77ad71/#09cxmdRp-Kh3bMKMpFsZ3QWenn Du mir Deinen Track schickst kann ich Dir auch gerne zumAusprobieren ein PDF erzeugen.Am 24.04.20 um 20:51 schrieb Karl Karsten:Mapline:+ You can set well known scales like 1:25.000, 1:50.000.

Dabei kann man sogar das verwendete Symbol im GPX setzen.Ehrlich gesagt ist das aber nicht ganz einfach, ich muss da auch jedesmal selber wieder nachschauen. So habe ich mir aber beispielsweiseCampingplätze in die Karte mit aufgenommen.Für meine Readreisen habe ich die Karten von mapline dann übrigens auchnoch mit den Trackinformationen von QMS kombiniert um beispielsweise dieHöhenprofile zu sehen.Grüße,Michael_______________________________________________ Qlandkartegt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qlandkartegt-users
