If you are signed in to Autodesk 360, you can change the resolution of map images, modify their extent, adjust their opacity, or update them to the latest version available on the online maps service.

Since the release of AutoCAD 2015 you do now have the ability to clip the image and/or viewport and paste into the file as a clipped image and this will give you the ability to print the image.
Which means you will have to be logged into A360 to view the map. One drawback is the map is a temporary graphic which is dynamically supplied by the online map service. You can use the AutoCAD online map function to check your location and/or add objects that are currently not on your map. Have you ever received a drawing from a surveyor or another outside source and it contains geographical information?
