I'm designing a project whose goal is to prepare folks in my community for disasters. An essential part of any disaster kit are maps of the local area so that when electricity has gone out people can still navigate to specific areas of the city (for instance to get supplies or medical help).
OpenStreetMap has comprehensive map data for my area (the San Francisco Bay Area) and I'd like to use the mapping data to create maps for the various cities to hand-out to residents. Since I'd need detailed (1:4800) of an entire city I haven't been able to use the export tool since it seems to have some built in limits to how large of an image it will generate (which makes sense). For Mountain View, CA the image size we'd want to generate is around 9409 x 11310 with a 1:4800 scale, in other words, very large. We would then cut this into smaller squares and print it out in a booklet with attribution to OpenStreetMap for the data and visuals. What's the best way for us to generate these detailed maps of the various cities?
