San Francisco looks nice, but there seems to be a problem with the projection in some of the sample images. It looks as if it isn't UTM but a global sphere projection, which isn't suitable for local renders. It's suspicious that the word 'projection' isn't mentioned in the Readme.
I believe (from a quick code check on my phone) it should be possible to output the images to SVG with a little tweak, thanks to your use of matplotlib?
Is there a reason you’ve defaulted to PNG that I’m missing?
That's splendid. I've long wanted to make a jigsaw puzzle out of Sydney's road map, so I can familiarise myself with the layout of roads while having fun. That way I can reduce my reliance on nav app and become one of those old-school drivers.
There's a reason Where 2 -> Google Maps happened in Sydney. The sheer number of one-way roads combined with the imposition of the harbour and the messy tunnel system make internalising Sydney navigation a life-long endeavour
Pretty cool! It would be great if there was a way to set coordinates manually, since Nominatim can sometimes produce mediocre results. Also, would be nice to have a way to render the same map in all themes, not just one.
The bar only updates once that entire step is complete (ie, if step 1 of 3 is downloading roads, it won't tell you what % of roads have been downloaded, but rather it will remain at 0% until all roads are downloaded at which point it will jump to 33%).
It will work, give it time. Also default distance is 29000. Give distance of 10000 to see faster results. It certainly is working as many users have generated maps.
It also appears to be open source, so perhaps you can open a pull request with your improvements based on your cartographical experience.

I have tried adjusting -d, but it only affects the scale.
Here is the command I used: python create_map_poster.py --city Leuven --country Belgium --distance 4000 --theme sunset
-d should be approx. 10k to 14k given the size of the city. You can give it a shot.
