Here’s how to achieve this:

- Click on the map, hold, and drag to move to the next area you want to print.
- Ensure you capture all the sections you’re interested in by repeating step 3.
- Go to any photo editing tool to merge the screenshots and create one large photo. I’ll use Canva.
- Tap “custom size,” select your dimensions, and click “Create new design.”
- Click “Upload files” to upload your screenshots in Canva.
- Tap on the screenshots to add them to your design and arrange them.
- Merge them to make them look like one photo. Tap the share button to save the photo.
- Go to Files>Downloads, right-click on the photo you downloaded from Canvas, then tap Print.
