I'm trying to print a large, very detailed map with mappoint. It is to be about 4 feet by 4 feet, and should be detailed enough to show all street names on it. Is there anywhere I can go to have this done?
Answer:
I guess this depends on where you live and work. I guess I would start by calling a copy/banner-making shop, like Kinko's or others like that. If they have computers with drivers for large-format printing, it may be a very simple process of printing to a large-format printer. I'm not sure how that process would translate what is displayed on the monitor to what is printed, but it might be the simplest way.
The following exchange was on the microsoft.public.mappoint newsgroup over the last month or so.
I have done it! Just go to page setup and specify your
paper size.
