Summary description: Spherical Mercator coordinate systems and Web Mercator tile integration
Announcement text:
Initial public release for a package which extends TikZ with tools to create map graphics. The provided coordinate system relies on the Web Mercator projection used on the Web by OpenStreetMap and others. The package supports the seamless integration of graphics from public map tile servers by a Python script. Also, common map elements like markers, geodetic networks, bar scales, routes, orthodrome pieces, and more are part of the package.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/mercatormap The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mercatormap/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese
