Your browser doesn't implement html features used by hillmap such as canvas and the site might not work as it should.For best results update to the latest version of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox

This is the first step in printing your customized map. After you set the parameters below, you will print from your internet browser. It's easier than it looks.

Your printer supports much higher resolution than your screen. To print at high resolution, Hillmap will open a print page that is very large on screen. Depending on your setup you will instruct your printer to fit this onto a single piece of paper in one of 3 ways:

Check a "Fit on Page" box in your internet browser's print dialog.

Scale the print by entering the percent listed below into the print dialog for your internet browser.

Save a printable high resolution image of the page using a browser plugin like Screen Capture (by Google) for Chrome.

When you click print a new window will open containing a large (Width*Pixels Per Inch) by (Height * Pixels Per Inch) pixel map of the onscreen area padded as needed to fit the dimensions you specify above and at the best resolution possible. Use the print dialog to print this map at the proper scale. You may have to play with these values and use print preview to find what that works with your setup. Borderless high quality prints are possible using Google Chrome and the system print dialog. The Caltopo and Microsoft Research Usgs (MSR-USGS) tiles offer the best resolution. MyTopo tiles cannot be printed larger then 8.5x11 but you can buy a map from MyTopo.com.
