Go into Legends mode, then select 'export detailed map' by pressing d, then select the type of view you want and press Enter. It will generate a bmp file in your DF folder.

You can also go into Legends->Historical Maps then select a year, then disable territories by pressing Enter, then press p if you want to export ASCII map.

That's a pretty nifty world indeed!

anyone know how do get smooth maps though?
like these ones Toady posted...
Spoiler: big smooth map 1 (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: big smooth map 2 (click to show/hide)

Edit: Gah! they're huge... um probably better to just follow these links rather than open the spoiler jokes... 1 and 2

I forget the buttons but in legends mode you pick export detailed map, and then pick the standard biome site map from the list. 

When I first looked at it I thought that would do the basic map view, but that's the one your looking for.

The buttons:

Go to legends mode, press "d", then "enter".  Wait for it to finish.  Then you have a nice, smooth map!

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...

You can get heightmaps too, which can be used to make a 3d version of your world.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.
