Printing map sheets

freemapper-print

freemapper-print turns a finished orienteering map and the courses from a course-setting program into print-ready map sheets, one per course.

What it makes

  • The map at exact print scale as a vector PDF, on A4, A3 or a page size of your own, also at another scale with the symbol sizes the norm asks for, such as 1:3000 for the youngest classes.
  • One sheet per course with the course overprint in purple and the control descriptions, from Purple Pen (.ppen) or from any program that writes IOF XML 3.0 (Condes, OCAD).
  • Control numbers that keep clear of legs, circles and the map's symbols; check suggests a better place.
  • The sheet around it: frame, title block, club and sponsor logos, north lines, a check distance to measure, and the map's credit lines.

Install

Download the archive for your system below and unpack it. As with freemapper, macOS needs xattr -d com.apple.quarantine freemapper-print, and Windows asks on the first start (More info → Run anyway). freemapper-print --version shows that it worked; freemapper-print update fetches the newest version later.

The first sheets

freemapper-print init training --map map.omap --courses courses.ppen --title "Training"
freemapper-print check training
freemapper-print export training --out-dir pdfs
