A pet project I've wanted to do for ages is to hack up a very high-detail (factoring in every road/footpath) isochrone map centred around my home, using openstreetmap data and render the result for a printshop at e.g. 600dpi to create a high quality map/poster

Any suggestions for the best (open) software to achieve this?

Click on the live link here https://blog.mapbox.com/add-isochrones-to-your-next-applicat... for an example. Use the extension linked in the article to create a high-resolution screenshot from a Mapbox GL Map canvas object. https://printmaps.mpetroff.net/

Mapbox also does isochrones: https://blog.mapbox.com/add-isochrones-to-your-next-applicat...

disclosure: I work for Mapbox (on geocoding, not visual maps)
