Draw a map using gps markers and save this image in a file

I have some GPS location records that I want to draw on a map (e.g. OpenStreetMap) and save this as an image file.

I am using python. I found osm-gps-map as a candidate library for visualization, but the API lacks some functions to satisfy all my needs. I need a library that does:

  • draw material on a map (for example, an OSM-based map), that is, a list of GPS positions.
  • automatically adjust the view (scale / position) to fit in all elongated positions.
  • save this view to image file

I really want you to not be forced to manually take a screenshot from a widget or browser window. And if possible, I also want to avoid implementing the necessary projection functionality (as in here ). Does anyone know a library / toolchain that provides the desired functions (if possible for using Python)?

You can use Basemap for matplotlib. Here is a blog post describing how to use this package with OSM.

There are examples of how to draw custom GPS points on top of an OSM background map using Matplotlib Basemap, Matplotlib, or Cairo in a GeoTiler project: https://github.com/wrobell/geotiler/tree/master/examples .
