cartegan v1.0.3

Cartegan

It's what you get when you knit a map.

Cartegan is a tool for downloading tiles from popular map services - OpenStreetMap, Google (KeyHole), Yahoo (Nokia OVI), Bing (Virtual Earth), etc.

LEGAL WARNING: Cartegan doesn't give you the right to cache, resell, or redistribute the image tiles you download. OpenStreetMap does, but other providers may not. Contact your physician before prolonged use.

Install and Run (with Web GUI)

0. Install NodeJS

1. Install and run Cartegan

   npm install -g cartegan

   cartegan-server <tile-provider: openStreetMap|google|yahoo|bing>

   cartegan-server 7070 google # defaults to openStreetMap

2. Open Google Chrome to http://localhost:7070

3. You MUST ALLOW location sharing (and it's running locally on your computer anyway)

4. Pick GPS coordinates, a radius, and a scale

5. Download! Tiles will be saved to ./cartegan-tiles (in the current directory)

Note: In theory this will work on Windows... but it's untested. For best results use an Operating System.

Run without the Web GUI

cartegan <latitude> <longitude> <min-zoom> <max-zoom> <radius> <tile-provider>
