routemap 2.0.0

Generate route maps from various sources.

As basemap is no longer maintained and almost impossible to install, this project now uses Cartopy.

Generates a nice looking map of a route from various sources. Here is an example.

Requires python >= 3.5

Requires proj, libgeos and tkinter to be installed. On Debian:

sudo apt install proj-bin libproj-dev libgeos-dev cython python3-tk

If running headless on a server, then python3-tk is not needed.

Use pip to install the following packages:

pip install numpy
pip install shapely --no-binary shapely
pip install matplotlib
pip install cartopy

Finally install routemap.:

pip3 install routemap

                    Indicate current position.
                    Pass the position with the option as a string representing the position or a url. eg:-
                    -c "52 23.5N 36 18.1W"
                    or
                    -c http://some.url.com/positions

-cl CURRENT_LABEL, --current_label CURRENT_LABEL
                    A label for the current position
 -d, --display      Display image in window. Defaults to no image displayed

 -st STARTTAG, --starttag STARTTAG

 -q QUALITY, --quality QUALITY
                    The quality of the rendered map, defaults to 'i':-
                      c = crude,
                      l = low,
                      i = intermediate,
                      h = high,
                      f = full.
                    Be warned, anything higher than -i takes a long time to render

 --paper PAPER
                    Size of paper saved map is intended to be printed on.
