If it ain't broke, fix it! In the last installment I wrote a script (gdal slice.py) to cut up geotagged images and save them in a format that GPSdrive will read. I’ve uploaded that script into a new repository on GitHub. I’ve also uploaded a script I wrote called get quad.py, which will download USGS topographic maps automatically. This script naturally complements gdal slice.py; […]. Map Tiles with Python GDAL. Sign your email like Randall Waterhouse. Web Laundry, Smart Cards, Python and OS X Smorgasbord.
