What happens if there are multiple cities with the same name. Maybe this is a US specific problem, but there are many states with cities of the same name from another state. As a few examples:

Salem, OR and Salem, MA

Portland, OR and Portland, ME

Springfield, IL and Springfield, MO

Dallas, TX and Dallas, GA

San Francisco looks nice, but there seems to be a problem with the projection in some of the sample images. It looks as if it isn't UTM but a global sphere projection, which isn't suitable for local renders. It's suspicious that the word 'projection' isn't mentioned in the Readme.

I believe (from a quick code check on my phone) it should be possible to output the images to SVG with a little tweak, thanks to your use of matplotlib?

Is there a reason you’ve defaulted to PNG that I’m missing?

Looks amazing ! In my free time, i play with my laser cutting machine. It will save me some design time. Thanks

Does anyone have recommendations for how to actually print a poster from images like these?

That's splendid. I've long wanted to make a jigsaw puzzle out of Sydney's road map, so I can familiarise myself with the layout of roads while having fun. That way I can reduce my reliance on nav app and become one of those old-school drivers.

Pretty cool! It would be great if there was a way to set coordinates manually, since Nominatim can sometimes produce mediocre results. Also, would be nice to have a way to render the same map in all themes, not just one.

The map of Venice seems to be the only one whose image is "squeezed" horizontally. Wondering why.

I tried it in a python3 venv, but the download data step is stuck at 0% unfortunately.

This repo is fantastic. The README should be the gold standard for OSS. Not to mention how stunning the outputs are. Thanks for sharing.

Why are big chunks of Sam Francisco missing (eg around the bridge) missing from the example?

It says there are examples but I can't see them?
