About

This is a tool to easily create OpenStreetMap SVG maps to plot them with a pen plotter. Check out the tool here: https://piebro.github.io/plotting-maps. There, you can upload OSM exports and render them as SVGs consisting only of lines, making it very pen plotter-friendly. 1. Use a Desktop Browser or enable desktop browsing on mobile. 2. Go to https://www.openstreetmap.org. 3. Navigate to a place of interest: 4. Click on "Export" (only visible on desktop): 5. Select the area of interest: 6. Download the data via the Overpass API (you can also use the export button, but the size of the export is more limited): 7. Download the file and upload it to https://piebro.github.io/plotting-maps using the "Upload OSM Export" button. 8. Set all options and align the map by dragging and zooming. 9. Download the map using the "Download Map" button. An alternative way to obtain OSM Map Extracts is to use a public Overpass API instance and download an area with a query. Plotting Maps is the open-source project piebro/plotting-maps (https://github.com/piebro/plotting-maps) by piebro, released under MIT. Ion packages it unmodified from commit b5a510ddc9ce, adding only a manifest, an icon and a storage compatibility script.
