    There is a related project which I used several times:https://github.com/anvaka/city-roadsEdit: it outputs SVGs and you can try it online. Anvaka (author) has other really cool dataviz projects.

    San Francisco looks nice, but there seems to be a problem with the projection in some of the sample images. It looks as if it isn't UTM but a global sphere projection, which isn't suitable for local renders. It's suspicious that the word 'projection' isn't mentioned in the Readme.

    These demonstrate just how car-obsessed our society is. Depressing.

    I believe (from a quick code check on my phone) it should be possible to output the images to SVG with a little tweak, thanks to your use of matplotlib?Is there a reason you’ve defaulted to PNG that I’m missing?

    Are you using a coding package or graph-based approach for this, or is it standard image generation? I’ve seen very similar results on https://picxstudio.com —it’s an AI image generation platform.

    Does anyone have recommendations for how to actually print a poster from images like these?

    This repo is fantastic. The README should be the gold standard for OSS. Not to mention how stunning the outputs are. Thanks for sharing.

    What happens if there are multiple cities with the same name. Maybe this is a US specific problem, but there are many states with cities of the same name from another state. As a few examples:Salem, OR and Salem, MAPortland, OR and Portland, MESpringfield, IL and Springfield, MODallas, TX and Dallas, GA

    This really needs to be `uvx` runnable.

    That's splendid. I've long wanted to make a jigsaw puzzle out of Sydney's road map, so I can familiarise myself with the layout of roads while having fun. That way I can reduce my reliance on nav app and become one of those old-school drivers.

    Three random themes for anyone who's Czech or likes Prague and doesn't want to set up the script locally: https://imgur.com/a/Ovg8mDW

    Awesome! After I generate, where can I take that super res image and get a high quality photo print to frame?

    I tried it in a python3 venv, but the download data step is stuck at 0% unfortunately.

    The map of Venice seems to be the only one whose image is "squeezed" horizontally. Wondering why.

    Pretty cool! It would be great if there was a way to set coordinates manually, since Nominatim can sometimes produce mediocre results. Also, would be nice to have a way to render the same map in all themes, not just one.

    Looks amazing ! In my free time, i play with my laser cutting machine. It will save me some design time. Thanks

    Why are big chunks of Sam Francisco missing (eg around the bridge) missing from the example?
  • arnavpraneet
    what are the blue dots? (not water bodies i think?)
  • cinntaile
    It says there are examples but I can't see them?

    Very cool, thanks for sharing!!

    Nice! Thanks
