NLS maps website adds print function for geo-referenced maps

The National Library of Scotland has added a print function to its geo-referenced mapping platform at https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=5.0&lat=56.00000&lon=-4.00000&layers=1&b=1. You will find the printer icon at the bottom left of the screen, beside the buttons allowing you to zoom in or widen out from an image. You can also save an image as a JPG, PNG file, or PDF document.

As well as many recent additions for English and Welsh agricultural and geological maps, the site has also added 2,094 out of copyright Ordnance Survey maps at scales of 1:1,250 to 1:63,360, for the whole of Britain from 1972. 

Further details are available at https://maps.nls.uk/additions/.
