Printing maps to use while out on survey
[This general answer][1] is what I'm using currently. However, it has its limitations.
Use case: I want to print paper maps to take into the field, and scribble my survey results on them.
Need: Fairly close zoom (=16 is ok), printed onto A4 paper (A3 even better, as PDF to send to a print shop).
Issues: 1) The extent of my browser window isn't quite what gets printed on A4. I can use print preview, but the many iterations of trial and error approach takes time when I'd rather be outside. 2) Naturally I'm limited to A4 with the long side running either N-S or E-W, but never at an angle.
**Want: To choose an A4-size bounding box *before* heading to print preview**
**Even better if**: I can angle that A4 bounding box as needed and print the angled image, to better choose exactly what extent of map to print (and have fewer papers to flip between/run after in the wind)
I've had a look at Big Map and maposmatic, but seem to have the same issue: you have to go through to the last step before you see what bounding box the A4 size has actually imposed.
