Where Order Print or Poster Print is offered, you can request a physical print of the saved artwork. Prepare the map carefully before ordering.

## 1. Choose the correct saved map or PDF

Open the print action from the row for the version you want. Check the title, date, orientation and artwork before ordering; an older exported PDF does not automatically pick up later edits.

## 2. Choose the offered print options

Select the size and other print options shown in the order dialog. The displayed price updates for the current choices. Use the live options and price, rather than relying on a price in this guide’s example image.

## 3. Complete the order details

Enter the requested contact and delivery information accurately. Check the address and any order notes before continuing. A postcode here is a delivery detail, not a command to move the map.

## 4. Continue with the order

The order button submits the print-order request/flow shown by the dialog. Read its confirmation and payment instructions. Use the close control to leave the dialog if you only wanted to inspect the options.
