Print out wont match scale

[minh tran]

Hello, I'm currently trying to print out maps for land navigation. I'm trying to print on 1:25,000 scale. When I go to print the grids seems to be too small even with the 1000m grid interval

Dear User

Thank you for your message and great to hear that you are using https://www.map.army.

We assume you did follow the steps described in the following thread: https://groups.google.com/g/militarymap/c/TedV4d4MGdE/m/INmdrzsqAAAJ

Based on your description, it sounds like the issue isn't with the map itself but with the final print settings. When you print the PDF generated from map.army, the printing dialogue box might be automatically scaling the document down. For a 1:25,000 scale map, you need to ensure the document prints at 100% scale (or "actual size"). If the scale is set to a lower percentage, such as 92%, the entire map, including the grid squares, will be slightly smaller than intended. This makes the grid intervals appear too small on your final printed map.

To fix this, before you hit the print button, look for the "Page Scaling" or "Scale" option in your printer's dialogue window and set it to "None" or 100%.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have further questions on https://www.map.army.
