GPX Map Drawer

This script generates a minimalist map image from a GPX file containing route data of a cycling or running track.

Usage

1. Make sure you have Python installed on your system.

2. Install the required dependencies using pip3:

   pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Run the script gpx-map-drawer.py:

   python3 gpx-map-drawer.py
   

4. Follow the prompts to enter the full path to the GPX file you want to use.

5. The script will generate a PNG map image based on the GPX data, with the same filename as the input GPX file.

Customization

You can customize the appearance of the map by modifying the following values directly in the gpx-map-drawer.py script:

• Line Width: Modify the linewidth parameter in the plot_route function to adjust the thickness of the route line.

• Line Color: Modify the color parameter in the plt.plot function to change the color of the route line. You can use hexadecimal color codes or named colors.

• Background Color: Modify the set_facecolor function to change the background color of the map. You can use hexadecimal color codes or named colors.

Required Libraries

• gpxpy: Python library for parsing GPX files.
• matplotlib: Python library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python.
