go-staticmaps

Name: go-staticmaps
Brand: go-staticmaps
SKU: //flopp/go-staticmaps
Rating: 2.355 (242 reviews)

A go (golang) library and command line tool to render static map images using OpenStreetMap tiles.

What?

go-staticmaps is a golang library that allows you to create nice static map images from OpenStreetMap tiles, along with markers of different size and color, as well as paths and colored areas.

For a Python version with a similar interface, take a look at py-staticmaps.

go-staticmaps comes with a command line tool called

create-static-map

for use in shell scripts, etc.

How?

Installation

Installing go-staticmaps is as easy as

go get -u github.com/flopp/go-staticmaps

For the command line tool, use

bash
go get -u github.com/flopp/go-staticmaps/create-static-map

Of course, your local Go installation must be setup up properly.

Library Usage

Create a 400x300 pixel map with a red marker:

package main

import (
  "image/color"
  "github.com/flopp/go-staticmaps"
  "github.com/fogleman/gg"
  "github.com/golang/geo/s2"
)
func main() {
  ctx := sm.NewContext()
  ctx.SetSize(400, 300)
  ctx.AddObject(
    sm.NewMarker(
      s2.LatLngFromDegrees(52.514536, 13.350151),
      color.RGBA{0xff, 0, 0, 0xff},
      16.0,
    ),
  )
  img, err := ctx.Render()
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
  if err := gg.SavePNG("my-map.png", img); err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
}

See PkgGoDev for a complete documentation and the source code of the command line tool for an example how to use the package.

Command Line Usage

General

The command line interface tries to resemble Google's Static Maps API. If neither

--bbox

--center

, nor

--zoom

are given, the map extent is determined from the specified markers, paths and areas.

--background

lets you specify a color used for map areas that are not covered by map tiles (areas north of 85°/south of -85°).

Markers

The

--marker

option defines one or more map markers of the same style. Use multiple

--marker

options to add markers of different styles.

--marker MARKER_STYLES|LATLNG|LATLNG|...

LATLNG

52.5153,13.3564

Examples

Basic Maps

Centered at "N 52.514536 E 13.350151" with zoom level 10:

$ create-static-map --width 600 --height 400 -o map1.png -c "52.514536,13.350151" -z 10

A map with a marker at "N 52.514536 E 13.350151" with zoom level 14 (no need to specify the map's center - it is automatically computed from the marker(s)):

$ create-static-map --width 600 --height 400 -o map2.png -z 14 -m "52.514536,13.350151"

A map with two markers (red and green). If there are more than two markers in the map, a good zoom level can be determined automatically:

$ create-static-map --width 600 --height 400 -o map3.png -m "color:red|52.514536,13.350151" -m "color:green|52.516285,13.377746"

create-static-map --width 800 --height 600 \
  --marker "color:green|52.5153,13.3564" \
  --marker "color:red|52.5160,13.3711" \
