Does anybody know a service that exports OSM maps to georeferenced GeoTiff files?

Question

Does anyone of you know if there is a service available for exporting OSM-maps in the Geo-Tiff format?

best regards desputin

Answer 1

There is no service or readily available tool that I can think of. But if you are comfortable on the command line and willing to spend some time tinkering, here is a way that can work

• download the OSM shapefile
• import the shapefile to TileMill.
• Once you style it, export it as a georeferenced PNG.
• Use gdal_translate to convert it to a GeoTiff.

Answer 2

I don't know of a tool either. If you aren't comfortable at the command line, I'd download the data from OSM, load into a desktop GIS and export a GeoTiff OR use QGIS with this plugin and then create an empty Geotif for the area you are interested in and then see if you can merge the data down into the empty file. I haven't tried that in QGIS, but with some work it should be possible. You'll want to check the licensing terms for OSM before doing that.
