How to scale print map from the site ?

Hello. Probably a daft question. Anyone have advice as to how to print off a route map? When I'm in the map I can't seem to see the option to print it. My poor IT skills will be to blame. Thanks :D

Me too. You could take a screenshot and print that.

Printing on websites is generally controlled by your browser - so you can just print from your browser - look in your browser menu for a print option.

Print screen is also an option for those who prefer to do that.

Scale depends on how far you have zoomed in or out, how large your paper is and your printer settings like margin, but the grid squares on UK maps are a kilometre, so it is usually easy to determine the scale of any map printed.

Thanks Paul, really useful. I've always wondered but never bothered to ask!
