	*A course can be printed in A4 format instead of A3
	*An (interesting) area can be used several times

	==== Print Course ~~on two pages~~ instead of ~~one~~ ====		==== Print Course in A4 format instead of A3====
			''If you only have an A4 printer available, but the whole course fits on A3 paper, you can split the course into two different parts by inserting a Map Flip.<br>
	~~Reasons to print a course on two pages instead of one:~~		The first part is printed on the frontside and the second part of the course is printed on the backside.''

	~~- You~~ only have an A4 printer available, but the whole course fits on A3 paper~~.<br>~~
	~~That's why~~ you split the course into two different parts by inserting a Map Flip.<br>
	The first part is printed on the frontside and the second part of the course is printed on the backside.

	~~- You want to print a course in a larger scale, e.g. 1:7~~'~~500 instead of 1:10~~'~~000. However, the 7'500 scale does not fully fit on one A4 page.<br>~~
	~~Again, you split the course into two different parts by inserting a Map Flip.<br>~~
	~~The first part is printed on the frontside and the second part of the course is printed on the backside.~~


	~~This is how you should proceed:~~
