City Maps

Inspiration is drawn from this.

Get all access-tokens

For this to work, you need a mapbox token (written into renderer/token.sh) and a maptiler token (should replace {key} inside of black_white.json)

Usage

1. install mapbox-map-image-export globally using npm
   • command export-map --help should be working
2. specify your mapbox token in renderer/token.sh using syntax:

export MAPBOX_TOKEN="YOUR-MAPBOX-TOKEN"

3. then run renderer/render.sh with parameters run LAT,LONG RADIUS STYLE_JSON [debug]

• LAT and LONG are the center coordinate in decimal degrees using pos./neg. numbers instead of N/E/S/W
• RADIUS are in kilometers
• STYLE_JSON is the relative path to the map style to be used (created using maputnik)
• [debug] optional parameter to open export-map in debug mode

4. insert image into Template.psd

If you need, you can create your own styles using Maputnik which can be used online or offline. Store the style as STYLE_NAME.json.
