Do you already know how to create your first custom map? That's great, let's get started!
Examples of little bit useless maps
Despite the constant work of OpenStreetMap editors, many areas of the world are still not exactly mapped. In this case – map in 1:45,000 scale from Canada – we recommend that you enable the landscape image layer (available in a future) in the advanced tab
Despite our efforts to make the process run flawlessly, errors may sometimes appear, as with the name of the city on this map in 1:45,000 scale of Istanbul in Turkey. If this is unacceptable to you, send us a message – perhaps we will be able to help.
Not much is happening in this area – Selva in Brazil on 1:45,000 scale map – so even in the future, it's hard to expect a large amount of data on the map.
There is also very little information here – 1:10,000 scale map of Tchibanga in Gabon. If you want to quickly find out if the OpenStreetMap database contains the data you are interested in, check the source at https://www.openstreetmap.org. There, you will see all the background information.
Automatic selection of content layers did not work properly. It's a map in 1:20,000 scale of Dubrovnik in Croatia. Try to remove or add something in the advanced tab; in this case, it is worth disabling minor/ other street names. This is precisely how custom maps are created.
Despite our efforts to make the process run perfect, errors may sometimes appear, as with the stadium symbol on this map in 1:45,000 scale of Paris in France. If this is unacceptable to you, send us a message – perhaps we will be able to help on any way.
