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?

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Why are big chunks of Sam Francisco missing (eg around the bridge) missing from the example?

It says there are examples but I can't see them?
