Maximum size (this may be unreasonable)

As soon as the SVG assets are released, so I can continue my work, I would totally try out 1.200dpi if I could :)

Billboards are printed at 15dpi (due to distance being seen, of course). The wrap on a bus or vehicle is usually 72 - 100 dpi (again, due to distance most viewers will be from it). Magazines? 150 dpi. Art prints? 240 - 300 dpi. I used to do book covers professionally. The DPI for a book cover - 300 dpi. Photo printing - 300 dpi. Heck, an offset press can't accurately produce a print over 300 dpi. So, what's the point going above 300 dpi for printing. Scanning's a different story, though.

I'm curious - why do you need 1200 dpi? While many printers can handle this, why do you need it? Even for professional printing, 300 dpi is the standard. Some comics are created at 600 dpi (but still printed at 300). I mean, I work in print quite a bit and have never needed 1200 dpi.

The map I'm working is going to be 72" by 36" at 300dpi - staples blueprint service can handle that size at 300dpi. (the 1200dpi from before is folly, for sure - though 600dpi would be nice ). unfortunately that's still beyond what rasterizer can handle. To be honest, I'm tempted to just go for 60"x30" and fill the outside with a fancy border and decorative elements - so, not a dealbreaker, but hitting this limit made me wonder where this stood.

What's the largest map you've created in OWM so far?

That would be a nice poll.

We're beginning regression testing for V1.0.5, but I think we can probably do the larger map limit for the V1.1.0 milestone. Meanwhile, if you make your map smaller in pixels (so same inch size at a lower resolution) you should be able to export scale it in sections using "Export --> Area" then splice the map together in a different app that supports larger sizes.

Obviously not the best solution, but I wonder if it would work for now?

Thank you!

Did this ever happen?

Like for all Feature Requests for OWM: If you can wait several years, there is a chance.

I bet 10€ with a friend that 2026 is going to be the year of the next update
