Mapweaver/Manual/Introduction

Introduction

Mapweaver has its roots in mapgen.pl, osmdiff.pl and osmrender.pl. The basic goals are:

• Fast and easy map generation, different output formats
• Fast extraction of needed data out of *.osm files (place=*)
• Easy style file handling
• Street and place directories
• Keep it simple (easy invocation with only 2 mandatory parameters)
• Keep it powerful (by using more parameters)

Hints

The projection method used is Mercator, ellipsoid is WGS84.
