It really is as easy as copying and then pasting data from a spreadsheet or a database column. Just click this Button in the editor:&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.printmaps.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/poibutton.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"58\" height=\"51\">and you\u2019ll have a familiar sight right in front of you. All you need to do is paste your content into the respective fields, and Printmaps will do the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once our geocoding engine has converted the addresses to their respective coordinates, you can go ahead and change the type of marker, the colour, icon or their size. All POIs will be saved in a separate layer, so once you\u2019ve downloaded your map in Photoshop format, you can open it up and fine-tune the positioning of your POIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download your route map with layers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Download your route map as a layered PSD or SVG file, and open this file in&nbsp;<strong>Photoshop or Illustrator<\/strong>. This way you can still easily adjust which layers you would like to be visible on your map and where exactly you would like to place them. Remove, move or add text, change colours and show or hide layers. The options are endless and which ones are beneficial for you highly depends on your own specific project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-5 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.printmaps.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/layered-map-in-illustrator.png\" alt=\"layered map\" class=\"wp-image-64211\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.printmaps.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/london-map-with-layers-1024x550.png\" alt=\"Map with layers\" class=\"wp-image-63106\" width=\"824\" height=\"442\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It is what you make of it<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating printable maps for a publication is not only a matter of having the right geo-tools, it\u2019s also about using your own designs or ideas. With Printmaps, you get full flexibility, whether it\u2019s the type of cartography used or the kinds of features included in your map.&nbsp;And once you\u2019ve created and downloaded your map, it doesn\u2019t just end there. Do you want to add more details to POIs, add your own logos, more graphics or some text? That\u2019s why we create your map in a layered PSD format, allowing you to change virtually anything you added to your map, down to single POIs.
