I'm trying to screenshot an entire city but when zoomed out, it is missing streetnames. When I zoom in to get detail, I cannot use a screenshot program (Snagit) to capture more than what is in my browser window. I understand why I can't because when I drag the window to a new area, it is actually a new screen render. Is there any other option other than screenshotting each zoomed in portion of the map, and later piecing them all together to make the full city? Any comments would be highly appreciated! cheers, Alleskan |
You can use the bigmap utility. answered 15 Feb '11, 16:15 NicolasDumoulin this is the best tool I found for generating .png files. you need to have perl installed, though.

You can use Maperitive, load OSM data for the city and then export it in whichever zoom level you like. It will produce a single bitmap. Here's a sample of what I did for Berlin (using a non-standard map stylesheet): http://www.flickr.com/photos/breki74/4446075390/sizes/o/in/photostream/ The export-bitmap command: http://maperitive.net/docs/manual/Commands/ExportBitmap.html If your area and zoom level is too big for the bitmap, you can use Maperitive to generate tiles for a web map. answered 10 Nov '10, 04:26 Breki Nice stylesheet for that Berlin picture! IMHO a candidate for "Picture of the Week" in our wiki ...

@stephan75: you can post it as a candidate, I won't mind ;)

Look at all applications and web services at Staticmaps and OSM_on_Paper to get large bitmap maps. Maybe "Bigmap" is good for tasks like that. answered 05 Nov '10, 16:36 stephan75 |
There is many possibilities.
You can also look at MapOSMatic. answered 05 Nov '10, 15:12 frodrigo Hi Frodrigo, Thank you for responding. I looked around for any software to download tiles, but couldnt find any. Any recommendations? Also, the export option doesnt seem to include the function I need, which is to have street level detail but then include the city level area. Sorry, I'm a real newbie at this ;)
