Hi! For a long time there was only one reasonable tool to download and
stitch map tiles into an image: Frederik's BigMap script. Sadly it
suffered from some little design problems, which meant I had to fix
generated perl scripts by hand every time.
Today I have released BigMap 2: http://bigmap.osmz.ru
It shares with the predecessor the spartan user interface and perl
scripts as the main mode of operation for experienced mappers. But the
improvements will allow even non-programmers to get images of, for
example, a mapping party region. I'll just copy the list from github:
* Better landing page with Leaflet and URL parsing.
* More than fifteen popular tile layers to choose from.
* KML, WLD and OziExplorer MAP meta files generation.
* Map downloading script can be produced in Python language.
* Fixed user agent and small pauses while downloading.
* Attribution on generated images.
* Server-side stitching with a queue.
Source code is published on https://github.com/Zverik/bigmap2 under
WTFPL, as always. Quotas for server-side stitching may be lowered if the
service eats too much resources (it's up to 100 tiles per image at the
moment).
