Compose a print-ready map from multiple styled layers — set a precise scale, add a scale bar, north arrow, and legend, then export as PDF or PNG.
What You Can Compose
Multiple Styled Layers
Add, reorder, and style any number of layers — color, line weight, fill opacity, and point size for each.
Precise Scale
Pan and zoom interactively, or type an exact 1:N scale directly — the export always matches exactly what's shown.
Scale Bar & North Arrow
A real, unit-aware scale bar (meters, km, feet, or miles) with two visual styles, plus a north arrow.
Auto-Built Legend
Generated automatically from your actual layers and their styles — points, lines, and polygons all handled.
Text & Shape Annotations
Add titles, subtitles, and freeform text or shapes, with drag-to-move and resize handles.
Basemap with Masking
Optional street or satellite basemap, clippable to any one layer's boundary so only your area of interest shows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the exported file match what I see on screen?
Yes — export always uses your map's actual current view and scale at the moment you export, not a separately-entered value that could drift out of sync.
What paper sizes and formats are supported?
A4, A3, Letter, and Legal, in portrait or landscape, exported as PDF or PNG.
Can I mask the basemap to just my area of interest?
Yes — pick any one of your layers as a mask boundary, and both the basemap and every other layer clip to its shape in the export.
Is there a watermark on exported maps?
No watermark — a small, unobtrusive credit line ("Prepared using SMGIS") is included, not a watermark over your map.
What file formats can I upload as layers?
GeoJSON, Shapefile (zipped), GeoPackage, KML/KMZ, or a spreadsheet with coordinates or WKT.
