I know Fractal Mapper 7 you could select an Area and
then have that area print on several sheets of paper
that would then connect to form a big map. I had done
it before with 12 sections, making a 3 by 4 sheet map.
I have the full version though, it may not be
available in the demo version. I haven't purchased
version 8. I haven't been doing many maps lately. The
map selection area for printing was an area I would
consider weak for version 7. The selection screen and
area selecting were tiny and didn't have any zoom
capability to see exactly what were selecting. It was
a bit of experimenting to get exactly what you wanted.
