Printing the Glasgow Central Map

You have two options when printing (PDF formats of) the Glasgow Central Map (GCM): firstly, you can print the GCM as an A4, or secondly, you can print over two pages, effectively printing to A3 size, once the two prints are joined together after printing. The GCM can be viewed at the first size, A4, only if it has been printed on a photo-quality printer at 300dpi or more.
