  • rosshow

    Visualize ROS topics inside a terminal with Unicode/ASCII art

    I do something very similar in ROSshow for NavSatFix (GPS) messages: https://github.com/dheera/rosshow

    It also has a pure ASCII mode:

    Unfortunately this utility isn't really usable outside of the context of robotics and ROS but one could extract the map rendering functionality and create a separate utility out if it if they wished.

    The main difference in approach between this and Mapscii is that I actually just convert raster map tiles from OSM instead of using the vector data.
