Re: [OSM-talk] OSM-TileDownload - Python app to easily create maps

Hi,

 We also have a compose.py script in Modest Maps that does something  
 similar from the command line:
   http://modestmaps.mapstraction.com/trac/browser/trunk/py/compose.py
 

I'll have a look at it.

  There's also http://opensteetmap.gryph.de/bigmap.cgi which again


dammit! Why I didn't notice this?
I prefer local apps, because you never know what is stored(and how long)
if you use internet apps and services.

PS: planned features for the next release:
- ability to switch between 'Mapnik', 'Osmarender' and
'Cycle Map'
- convert the colored map into grey-tones for b/w lp's
- integrated browser via QtWebKit for easier map selection
(or in the following release)

Are you aware that the 'export' tab feature on the main site lets you do
something similar but with an easier selection of the bounding box and a
choice of map layers and output formats?

It does have its limits though. It prevents you obtaining anything
larger than about 2000x2000 pixels.

There's also http://opensteetmap.gryph.de/bigmap.cgi which again 
requires you to input tile coordinates (or paste any tile URL into the 
Advanced box to start). Then you get a map tile display and a menu 
that allows you to shrink/expand the selection. (There's also a hidden 
feature where you can add a scale=nnn parameter to the URL and it will 
re-scale all tiles to a width of nnn pixels, to give you better overview 
over large areas). When finished, you can either print from your browser 
or download a perl script that will then download all tiles and make one 
giant PNG from them.

I regularly use that to create 8000x5000 PNGs for poster printing, and 
the CGI source is of course available for everyone who wants to improve it.

Frederik

Hi,

thanks for the feedback.

Because of the 2000 pixels limitation of the 'export' tab I wrote the app.

opensteetmap.gryph.de returns an site not found error..

We also have a compose.py script in Modest Maps that does something  
similar from the command line:
http://modestmaps.mapstraction.com/trac/browser/trunk/py/compose.py

You can feed it a variety of input: (lat, lon) center, desired zoom  
level and pixel dimensions; (lat, lon) bbox and pixel dimensions;  
(lat, lon) bbox and desired zoom level.
