The ability to have a user define the scale of the maps generated has been subsequently asked on these two issues:
+1 for this feature, but here's a workaround if the multi-page map that you get is too "zoomed-in)
- Select some area on the map and click
Next
- Select
Multi-page layout
and clickNext
- Choose your stylesheet (I prefer
OpenTopMap
) and clickNext
- Enable the
Scale bar
Overlay - (optional) enable the `Contour lines at 100m resolution Overaly
- Click
Next
- Choose your paper size and click
Next
- Give your map a name and click
Generate
The resulting map will be generated and tell you the scale. Personally, I'm shooting for a scale between 1:50,000
to 1:100,000
If it's too zoomed-in (eg scale says 1:<something less than 50,000>
), then go back to step 1 above, but select a bigger area.
Usually I just have this issue when I select too small of an area. So I select a bigger area until the desired scale is achieved, and just print a subset of the pages in the PDF.

This is a must-have feature. This is absolutely necessary for printable maps. It's astounding that the project has existed for so long without such an essential, fundamental feature.
I think this should be a high priority. Is anyone working on this now?

Not sure if this is any help, but noticed that www.milvusmaps.eu has ability to choose a specific map scale. Also agree this would be a welcome addition. Sorry I'm a novice, but happy to help if I can.

+1 for this feature. Some compasses (like Silva Expedition, etc) has specialized "rulers" on them with standard scales like 1:25000 or 1:50000 for measuring distances more conveniently.

My workaround for this issue is to enable the scale bar option in MyOSMatic, open the .svgz map in Inkscape, export to .dxf format and adjust the scale of the map in LibreCAD so that the scale bar shows the 'real' dimension, e.g. 500 metres on the scale bar is 500 metres on the LibreCAD grid. From there, the map can be printed at any scale you want using LibreCAD's print preview feature.
However a lot of the detail and the colours of the map are lost in the conversion from .svgz to .dxf format. All paths are rendered at default width, so for example a road becomes the same width as a footpath.
If it was possible to export svgz format at the desired fixed scale, the map edits could be made in Inkscape and the full map appearance preserved.
Thanks for an awesome mapping tool :-)

Sorry to say this site is now offline.
