Paper Map

[Chiron 23]

Anyone printed off a big map of Chernasus for off monitor referencing? I found some food ones, but nothing over about 2200px x 2200px. Not sure how large I'd be able to print that off without it being unreadable. I basically want something nice nad big, maybe A2 or A1, to lay out on a white board and mark my own locations with magnets etc. Just for the hell of it - fully aware that the google-esque, scalable maps online are much more useful.

Thoughts or suggestions on images to use? Or any thoughts on easy ways to put together the lovely definition google-esque map?

Gracias friend. This is that little bit better than the one I already had planned to use. Cheers.

Hey guys, I've decided to print this map off as well but instead I am doing it on A4 and I will stick them together but I am coming across a problem.

I go to print the map but it only prints the top left corner of the map, about 1/5th of it.

Any ideas how to get around this?

I imagine it has to do with whatever program you're printing through. Just check the print settings and see what you have on hand to change.

Was wondering the same and found this handy dandy little tip for printing it out using Paint for multiple sheets: http://scottiestech.info/2009/08/08/how-to-easily-print-a-large-image-to-multiple-pages-in-windows/

I do this at the moment, but something about a big paper map is just getting me excited.

I bought the legit one from Bohemia Interactive and have it stuck up on my wall next to me.

Before that.. I used my second monitor.

Here is a thread I started, check it for a link to a map that is 17454 x 14626 (thats about 20 feet tall if printed at full size). I printed mine to around 5' x 4'-6" and it is stunning. I spent many days searching for a higher resolution map but could not find anything at all. One more thing, if you do print a map, I recommend having it laminated. This would allow you to use wet erase markers for map notes etc. It seems permanent until you wipe with a damp cloth and the ink just disappears.

Links to the map are in this thread:

My friend, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Please, have all my beans!

Thanks so much, that's exactly what I'm after. I'll print it out at the largest size I can afford/manage, and getting it laminated afterwards was definitely on the cards. Excellent stuff.

No problem at all. I figured someone here would appreciate it. No need for beans, but if you wouldnt mind, give that post a bump so others can find it....

I had some spare cash to throw around, I got this: https://store.bistudio.com/chernarus-map-collection

It has the Chernarus map that DayZ uses, professionally printed like a real map as you can see in the pictures amongst some other goodies.

Hey, nice. Rough dimensions on that? (sorry, didn't see them on the webpage)

I was originally planning to buy that map from BIS but they didnt include any details about the map size so I blew them off and made my own. we printed the same map you have off for two of my co-workers. Just curious, how big is the map they sent you and is it laminated?

I just bring up one on a web browser and alt tab if I don't have a map in game. Doing this is probably going to get me killed, but we'll see.

Roughly 58cm high x 85cm across, couldn't find a tape measure so I grabbed a dodgy ruler, my desk is built into an alcove-sort've thing so it fits perfect on the bit of wall to my right when I'm playing DayZ. And when you say laminated I think of the stiff plastic laminations(?) but obviously this had to be folded, it's on the thick/shiny paper though, like a real map or a poster.
