Comparison

## Ready-made plan or map generator?

With map generators and OSM exports you can crop a section yourself – perfectly legitimate for many purposes. The difference is the rework: a curated figure ground plan arrives cleaned up, to scale and in CAD formats.

|  | Curated plan (instant download) | Map generator / DIY crop |
|---|---|---|
| Gebäude | Closed building polygons, cleaned up and CAD-ready | Raw OSM geometries – fix open polygons and gaps yourself |
| Scale | Fixed scale (e.g. 1:5000), laid out print-ready | Calculate and verify the scale yourself on export |
| Coverage | The whole city / entire city area in a single file | Limited map section – stitch large areas together from several crops |
| Formats | PDF, DWG & DXF for CAD, plus SVG and PNG | Usually PNG or SVG – CAD formats require conversion |
| Layers | Buildings, streets and water in separate layers | Often a single merged graphics layer |
| Time | Instant download, keep working right away | Budget time for cropping, cleaning and preparation |
