Motivation

The purpose of this project is to programmatically extract maps from open databases like OpenStreetMap providing you with a ready to use GeoJSON map that fits your needs.

Do you believe that this is cool? If so, support us with a ⭐️!

Table of maps

In this section you can find all the maps generated by this project.
Feel free to propose new kinds of maps! 🎉

For each map you can click on the image to see a live preview.
Please note that the previews show you the worst resolution available.
See the details for higher resolutions.

All the maps are exported as GeoJSON and available to be downloaded directly from GitHub or as package on npm.
See the details of each map for more information on how to get started.
