This is an artistic project to make a fun and artsy poster, so it's not at all "suspicious" that the map projection is not critical to the artwork.

It also appears to be open source, so perhaps you can open a pull request with your improvements based on your cartographical experience.

Valid Point @mft_ plt.savefig(output_file, format='svg', facecolor=THEME['bg']) should do it. I will add a --format parameter and make the change.

In the US, I've had good results with Staples

A good print on demand that delivers ?

What’s up with the Zizkovska tower highlight?

Looks beautiful. The gold+dark color does justice.

There's a reason Where 2 -> Google Maps happened in Sydney. The sheer number of one-way roads combined with the imposition of the harbour and the messy tunnel system make internalising Sydney navigation a life-long endeavour

need to take into consideration the length and width of the city and choose distance appropriately. I haven't followed my own suggestion here - https://github.com/originalankur/maptoposter?tab=readme-ov-f... will fix.

The bar only updates once that entire step is complete (ie, if step 1 of 3 is downloading roads, it won't tell you what % of roads have been downloaded, but rather it will remain at 0% until all roads are downloaded at which point it will jump to 33%).

It will work, give it time. Also default distance is 29000. Give distance of 10000 to see faster results. It certainly is working as many users have generated maps.

Those smooth chunks are all (mostly) public park land. Known as Presidio and part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

python create_map_poster.py -c "San Francisco" -C "USA" -t sunset -d 10000

-d should be approx. 10k to 14k given the size of the city. You can give it a shot.
