The Challenge

Printing maps sometimes felt like hitting pause on your work. External layers like basemaps or overlays could load slowly, leaving you waiting with no clue if the print was processing, frozen, or failed.

Your Feedback

You asked for a smoother experience. Specifically:

• Clear feedback on print progress.
• The ability to keep working while a print runs.
• Options to print with loaded data instead of waiting forever.

The Update

We designed a more transparent printing experience with background processing and clear notifications:

• Instant Feedback – “Processing Print” confirms your request is underway.
• Delay Handling – After 10 seconds, you’ll see “This is taking longer than normal” and can choose Print with Loaded Data.
• Completion & Errors – Clear success and error messages explain what happened and next steps.

Why You’ll Love It

Printing now works with your flow, not against it. You get clear updates, can keep planning while it runs, and always know what’s happening in the background.
