Mapboxed

Generate assembled mapbox tilesets.

CLI Usage

Usage: mapboxed [options]

Downloads tiles from mapbox and stitches them together into one image file

Options:
  -V, --version              output the version number
  -z, --zoom <zoom>          zoom level
  -l, --location <location>  string query specifying the location of interest
  -x1 <x1>                   left longitude boundary
  -x2 <x2>                   right longitude boundary
  -y1 <y1>                   top latitude boundary
  -y2 <y2>                   bottom latitude boundary
  -o, --outfile <outfile>    output filename (default: "mapboxed.jpg")
  -t, --tileset <tileset>    mapbox tileset id (default: "mapbox.satellite")
  -k, --key <token>          mapbox token (will override read from MAPBOX_TOKEN 
                             environment variable)
  -f, --format <format>      image format to download (jpg90 | jpg80 | jpg70 | 
                             png256 | png128 | png64 | png32 | png) (default: "jpg90")
  -p, --parallel <parallel>  Number of parallel connection to make to mapbox (default: "5")
  -r, --res2x                fetch @2x size resolution
  -s, --silent               do not confirm download size
  -c, --cache                keep and read from temp tile files in .mapboxed
  -h, --help                 display help for command

The output file stitches together the tiles specified by the parameters given. Note that if the coordinate boundaries specified in the arguments do not fall precisely on a tile boundary, mapboxed will output a file up to the nearest tile still containing your entire coordinate boundaries. This final boundary is written to the image's metadata in the description field as a serialized array in the form of [lng1, lat1, lng2, lat2].

Examples

with npm version 5.2.0 or up, directly run the following commands in the terminal, no extra installation necessary. (Note: you will need a mapbox access token to be set with the environment variable MAPBOX_TOKEN or passed in with -k)

npx mapboxed -z 9 -x1 -123.0652 -y1 38.1799 -x2 -120.1163 -y2 37.1431

npx mapboxed -z 9 -x1 -123.0652 -y1 38.1799 -x2 -120.1163 -y2 37.1431 -t mapbox.mapbox-terrain-v2
