Context geo-tiles in Python

Project description

contextily: context geo tiles in Python

contextily is a small Python 3 (3.9 and above) package to retrieve tile maps from the internet. It can add those tiles as basemap to matplotlib figures or write tile maps to disk into geospatial raster files. Bounding boxes can be passed in both WGS84 (EPSG:4326) and Spheric Mercator (EPSG:3857). See the notebook contextily_guide.ipynb for usage.
