I print my routes to pdf (normally A4 size landscape) as multi pages - how can I tell what the scale is, or better still adjust it? [Other mapping we use gives an idea of scal and gives a very crude "how far have I ridden" when crossing a map page by looking at the paper.
I can't find a reference to the printed scale as you get on purchased paper maps.

Hi Rob - there isn't currenlty any way for you to add a scale to printed maps I'm afraid, but I can see this would be very useful. We'll look into how easy this would be for us to do - if it's a simple change we'll get it done soon and post back here.

Great - what would be REALLY USEFUL is to be able to select a scale at which to produce pdf maps (that can be printed) - perhaps 1:100.000 for cycling and 1:50,000 or eveb 1:25,000 for walking.
I use Memory Map and whilst that's pretty much limited the UK and France it does have a good facility to print maps at a scale of the user's choosing.

Ah - sorry - supplementary question ... how does the system decide on how many pages to make a "multi-page" pdf ? I assume it's subject to the length of the route, but that then must mean there is a scale (albeit not published)?

Hi Rob - Adding an option to be able choose a scale for printed maps would be a significant development project, so that's not something we could do easily. Currently the zoom level is chosen to fit the maps on the page. If you select Multi-Page printing it will select the appropriate zoom level for each page based on the section of the route being shown. The system doesn't decide on the number of pages though - this is something that you specify when select the print options (in the field just to the right of the Multi-Page button).

Hi Rob - we've now added a scale guide to printed maps. Thanks for suggesting this.

Brilliant with the scale marker addition
... and more haste, less speed with my not noticing the option to select the number of pages to create (I can make a rough calculation based on the distance to then specify the number of pages I want to have in the pdf.)

If I want to print a high definition map on A1 or A0 paper format, how do I do that?

I'm afraid we don't support high definition printing.
