Printing WayMaps - what's happened?

How can we make good A4 printouts of a WayMap that includes a highlighted route?

By using normal browser zoom and print settings I used to be able to fill a sheet of A4 with a map that included my highlighted route for the day. Currently that seems impossible. Is it possible to change that?

That's weird. It's working for me. See below which is a screenshot of a "print preview" of a random route1.

And if I print that's what come out.
 

It looks like you're using Chrome on Windows 10. Is that right?

And when you says it "seems impossible" is the map printing without the route? Or is anything printing at all?

  1. A route describes where you are intending to go, point by point. For more information click here.

Oh....if you can print successfully that's good news. Thanks for checking.

The problem I was having, was that only a portion of the A4 was gonna be printed to. No amount of fiddling with the browser zoom and print settings got round it.

It sounds like a Chrome 'funny' at this end then. I'll do a bit more digging, try other browsers and report back.
