Printing maps

Print your own trip map.

You can print maps online from norgeskart.no and kartmannen.no.

Norgeskart

The Norwegian Mapping Authority runs the site Norgeskart.no. Here you can draw your own routes on the map and have the routes you have drawn included on the printout. You can also save and share your routes with others. It is also possible to create an elevation profile for the route you are going to walk. You choose the scale you want for the map yourself.

To get UTM zones on the map, go to the menu and click on «Fastmerker» – «UTM-rutenett». This brings up both UTM zones and the UTM grid, and these also appear on the printout.

Kartmannen

On the pages of Kartmannen you can print maps with the UTM zone. You can choose the scale you want for the map yourself, along with information such as trails, slope steepness, avalanche run-out zones and weakened ice. You will also find nautical charts here.

The drawback of this site is that you cannot produce map sections where there is overlap between two UTM zones.

Kartmannen uses data from the Norwegian Mapping Authority.
