Give a box in geographical coordinates (latitude/longitude) and a zoom level, Smopy returns an OpenStreetMap tile image!
import smopy
map = smopy.Map((42., -1., 55., 3.), z=4)
map.show_ipython()
You can also import the map in matplotlib and convert from geographical coordinates to pixels easily.
x, y = map.to_pixels(48.86151, 2.33474)
ax = map.show_mpl(figsize=(8, 6))
ax.plot(x, y, 'or', ms=10, mew=2);
Smopy currently requires:
- PIL or Pillow
- NumPy
- matplotlib
- IPython
To install, pip install smopy
or git clone and put the folder in your PYTHONPATH.
This module fetches image maps from OpenStreetMap's servers. See the usage policy. In particular, be careful not to retrieve large maps as this can overload the servers.
