Maps

[Arumuga Raja]

Maps are given in our New World Translation bible in the Appendix B.

These maps are great for researching and studying the Bible. 

How can I download these maps in high resolution?

Why i am need to download because bible size is small so if i am able to download print in A4 or A3 size is comfortable to use map

Take a picture with a phone. Many phones have quite good camera resolution. You can print the pictures you take.

@Arumuga Raja This is a quite simple way to do what you wish:

 

- Go to the Online Library > Bibles > Appendix B and click on one of the maps, then click on the small picture. That way a bigger map will appear on screen.

- Right-click on that map and select "Save image as". This will download the image in .svg format, a format that can be made much bigger without losing quality.

- To open the .svg file you downloaded, just drag it into a browser window, and it will open. Then you can simply print it from there.

 

This is easier done than explained, so I prepared a video on how to do it:

Hi Carlos, 

Can you share with us what .svg format is? Thanks.

Sure! SVG files are vector images. That means they are scalable: you can make them as big as you wish and they always look sharp, they never look pixelated. That's because they don't describe every point in an image, but rather define the image by shapes: curves, angles, straight lines and so on.

@carlos  Thank you Brother for educating me on many computer things - I love the map post!  I have worn out several Good Land booklets looking at the maps.  I like to see  where things happened when I read the Bible.

That sounds familiar. So that means they're similar to CGM files?

Yes, both are vector images.

 

In bitmap images, such as BMP, JPG or GIF, the image is a grid made by minute dots. The file contains the color of every one of those dots. If you make the image bigger, there is a point where it begins losing quality.

 

In contrast, vector images are made of shapes. Straight lines, curves, circles, angles. they can be made as big as you wish and they don't lose quality because every shape is recalculated to its new size. Of course this is not practical for photographs, but works great for text, maps or technical drawings.
