Ability to omit the QR code, scale bar, and north arrow on printed maps
When I print a map, I like to get as much as possible on an 8½ x 11 or 8½ x 14 page. The QR code, scale bar, and north arrow take up a lot of room, particularly when the map is printed landscape. Printing with USNG gridlines gives a good indication of scale and direction. An option to leave out the QR code, scale bar, and north arrow would allow users to get more map on their printed page.

I partly agree. Not sure why we need two scales when I've chosen to work metric and also that they span the whole width.
I don't mind the QR Code,
The North and magnetic variance is essential for all maps.
I would like to see grid lines for lat-long like we have with UTM.
I agree. I would like this feature to be able to print without the scale QR code, and MN information. I am currently trying to piece together a large map (45x 55"ish), and it is hugely cost efficient to print 8.5 by 11s and tape them together. I think I'll try adjusting the margins and see how well that works.
I would also like the QR code to be optional. It is rarely if ever of any use for us (SAR missions and training) as if we need to use a QR code we will generate one from the main map and have individuals scan that as needed. Also when printing maps for land navigation exercises we do not want the participants to be able to scan the QR code and pull up the map on their phone as the point is for them to learn to use map and compass in case of a technology failure.
