printing - Print map with own layer -


given big city (square 800 km^2) layer on it. layer may contain multicolor features such as:

  • lines
  • points
  • text

number of features 1000.

map resource - google maps or openstreetmap (or maybe else?).

my aim print such map on paper size (about) 5x5 meters. document has high-resolution - on paper want see buildings numbers, streets captions , on.

what best way generate such printable file (image, document, etc)?


here possible solutions found:

  • i know openlayers api can draw layer on google maps or openstreetmap. how convert printable format?

  • i find out there's export feature on openstreetmap. using feature can't export own layer , won't high-resolution.

  • google maps has similar feature. using can create own layer. if have 1000 features url big, server won't load it. map won't high-resoultion.


thanks help.

are set on using slippy map tiles? if not, use more heavyweight such gis (geographic information system) package. open-source map viewer/manipulator high-res print capability qgis there others around.

for these can import vector data (available through osm export) representing map, , style like. there several options export high-res printing.

ultimately, may asking question in wrong place though. aware of: gis.stackexchange.com?
