Understanding Print Map Composer
Features, layers and visual encoding
Compose a focused print-ready PNG with a map title, north arrow, border, and required OpenStreetMap attribution entirely in the browser.
Print Map Composer turns spatial features into a map layer. Geometry controls placement; properties can control labels, categories, symbol size or other visual choices without changing the source records.
How to read the map
The export captures the current viewport and is intended for quick reports, not multi-page atlas production or desktop publishing.
Use Print Map Composer to inspect patterns and obvious placement problems, then verify important records and properties directly. Display scale, zoom and styling can hide overlap or make small differences look more significant.
