Creating Printable Maps
summary
MapOSMatic generates high-resolution, printable multi-page PDFs from OpenStreetMap data rather than screen tiles. It imports OSM points of interest and custom stylesheets, lays out map tiles into printable single- and multi-page maps with city index and zoom control, converts SVG to PDF, and provides a web service plus a downloadable Linux VM image so printers can render maps without rebuilding the stack; the talk also shows performance and export limits with examples.
