Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
getmap
package.
Version number: v1.6
License type: lppl
Summary description: Download OpenStreetMap, Google Maps or
Google Street View maps
Announcement text:
The goal of this package is the simplest possible provision of map images (OpenStreetMap, Google Maps and Google Street View are supported). In the simplest case, the specification of an address is sufficient. The package loads the map using the \write18 feature, which you must activate to use this package. The image will be downloaded by an external Lua script. You can use this script also from the command line. License: LPPL Changes in v1.6: - added gpx2epl, gps2epl and gpx2gps modes to getmapdl.lua parses gpx and gps files and outputs gps or epl (encoded polylines) to STDOUT, e.g: getmapdl -m gpx2epl -G myroute.gpx >myroute.epl - removed gpx2gps bash file - updated documentation

getmap – Download OpenStreetMap maps for use in documents
The package provides a simple interface to OpenStreetMap, and to Google Maps “map images”. In the simplest case, it is sufficient to specify the address you need (if you don’t, the package will use its own default).
The package loads the map image using an external lua script (invoked via \write 18: LaTeX must be running with \write 18 enabled).
The (“external”) lua script may be used from the command line; a bash version is provided.
