The initial version were coordinates actually but then realised people mostly love their cities more than anything and it's easy that way. Will add this feature back as optional parameters.

There is throttling in the code when making api request to respect the map provider as per their terms and conditions. Can make few thing parallel but it's a hobby project how many posters would one person want to generate?.

Looks beautiful. The gold+dark color does justice.

Also note that as per their terms and conditions I need to give a user agent, so multiple users will be sharing same user agent right now.

It will work, give it time. Also default distance is 29000. Give distance of 10000 to see faster results. It certainly is working as many users have generated maps.
Re:Map To Poster – Create Art of your favourite city on Saturday January 17, 2026 @06:21AM (#46657147)
need to take into consideration the length and width of the city and choose distance appropriately. I haven't followed my own suggestion here - https://github.com/originalankur/maptoposter?tab=readme-ov-f... will fix.

Valid Point @mft_ plt.savefig(output_file, format='svg', facecolor=THEME['bg']) should do it. I will add a --format parameter and make the change.

You know your city.
Re:Map To Poster – Create Art of your favourite city on Saturday January 17, 2026 @05:55AM (#46657014)
python create_map_poster.py -c "San Francisco" -C "USA" -t sunset -d 10000

-d should be approx. 10k to 14k given the size of the city. You can give it a shot.
