Smopy

New: you may be interested in Folium for interactive maps with Leaflet.js

Give a box in geographical coordinates (latitude/longitude) and a zoom level, Smopy returns an OpenStreetMap tile image!

import smopy
map = smopy.Map((42., -1., 55., 3.), z=4)
map.show_ipython()

You can also import the map in matplotlib and convert from geographical coordinates to pixels easily.

x, y = map.to_pixels(48.86151, 2.33474)
ax = map.show_mpl(figsize=(8, 6))
ax.plot(x, y, 'or', ms=10, mew=2);

Alternative OSM tile servers can be used as well. An example is in the example notebook.

See the example notebook

Terms of use

This module fetches image maps from OpenStreetMap's servers. See the usage policy. In particular, be careful not to retrieve large maps as this can overload the servers.
