# Print Maps

Web maps normally don't print well, as their resolution is much lower than

normal print resolution, not to mention the various other unwanted text and

elements that print along with the map. Print Maps changes that by leveraging

[Mapbox GL JS](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js) to render print

resolution maps in the browser.

## Future updates

Due to Mapbox's new [anti-FOSS stance](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/releases/tag/v2.0.0),

Mapbox GL JS will not be updated past v1.13. Please reach out to Mapbox to

express your displeasure with this stance. Maintenance on this repository will

continue as long as fixes can be made without updating Mapbox GL JS.

## Options

* Inches or millimeters

* PNG or PDF output (PDF is Letter size for inches, A4 for millimeters)

* Choice of map styles

* Height and width settings

* DPI setting

## Building

Add your Mapbox access token to `js/script.js`, run a local webserver such as

`python3 -m http.server`, and open `index.html`.
