Show HN: Map2Image – Download Beautiful City Maps
These maps look great! Reminds me of a project I saw a long time ago [1]. Glad you made this downloadable for everyone who cannot write code.
P.S.: Now, I also have some (birthday) presents ;-)

Riddle me this: "Huku ni wapi?"
You can generate them yourself from Open Street Maps. Use this Google Colab. Source - prettymaps.

Geovisualization test with OSM map data and matplotib for styling
Great work! I love osmnx, it's such a nice library. I remember using it at school to work out distance from fire stations across my city. There's this nice library that uses it called prettymaps, I've been meaning to take some time with it to do some sweet posters.

is there a way to view public mapbox maps in GIS?
I suppose, I'd need to try parsing these via some github tool?

Opensource map software for web app
You will also need to figure out your source of basemap tiles. Again, OpenStreetMap is not an API not is it a basemap, despite what some here are recommending. It is an open dataset that is commonly used to create raster or vector tile basemaps. It is possible to download all or some of OpenStreetMap, generate vector tiles, and style them to look the way you want, but that does introduce quite a bit of extra technical overhead you might not want at this stage of development. Namely, you’d need to run you own vector tile server that your mapping API can fetch and render tiles from. Many open source vector tile servers exist and it’s kind of up to you to figure out which one meets your needs. Alternatively, Mapbox and MapTiler provide SaaS support for basemaps built in part or wholly on OpenStreetMap data. Check out “Awesome Vector Tiles” for resources and tools to help get going with vector tiles. (https://github.com/mapbox/awesome-vector-tiles)
