Route Planner is free to
use for everybody. You'll find the application at
Preparations
First of all you should sign up with
. The service is free and you only
need an email address to register.
Our recommendation: use the Firefox browser to export raster maps – using other browsers
might result in more work because you'd have to cut off extra borders using a graphics
program.
Using Route Planner
Log in and start Route Planner by clicking on the blue „Route Planner“ button.
Scroll the map to the spot you want to export. You can use the „Find Location“ feature to get
there faster. You can also define your home location by clicking on the map on the home
screen. In this case, Route Planner always pops up at your home location.
Once you have chosen the right spot for the map export, click the button „Map Export“.
Step 1: change to fullscreen mode and assign name
To avoid having to cut off extra parts of the map image (scrollbars etc.) later on, you should
switch your browser to fullscreen mode. Press the F11 key to do this (works for Firefox and
Internet Explorer).
Enter a proper name for the map (without any special characters) and select the desired
format for the map (streets, satellite imagery or both).
Press „Continue“.
