kandi X-RAY | GooMPy Summary

GooMPy is a Python library typically used in Geo, Map applications. GooMPy has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Weak Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Interactive Google Maps for Python. Tested with Python2.7 and Python3.6. GooMPy provides a Python interface to the Google Static Maps API, automatically downloading and stitching together map tiles into a single image that you can zoom and pan dynamically in your Python program. To support using maps when you don't have an internet connection, GooMPY provides a pre-fetching function that stores the tiles in a caching folder. To keep the amount of tile-downloading to a minimum, GooMPy doesn't have functions for adding waypoints or other annotations to the map through Google's API. To run GooMPy you'll need the Python Image Library (PIL) or equivalent (Pillow for Windows and OS X) installed on your computer. The repository includes an example using Tkinter, though you should be able to use GooMPy with other toolkits like wx and Qt.

Plotting a Google Maps route in Python

QUESTION

Plotting a Google Maps route in Python

Asked 2018-Feb-19 at 21:41

I'm trying to develop a system that will show the user a route that GoogleMaps has calculated. I can get the route, via the googlemaps API. The system will send the API locations which the user has inputted, so the points will be arbatary.

My current system for displaying the map is using goompy. This works by extracting tiles for a set location and then displaying them on a tkinter canvas. How do I also extract tiles for the route overlay?

If it's not possible using goompy, could you point me in the right direction.

Thanks

I've had a look at GooMPy on GitHub (https://github.com/simondlevy/GooMPy). The README.md contains the following text

GooMPy provides a Python interface to the Google Static Maps API, automatically downloading and stitching together map tiles into a single image that you can zoom and pan dynamically in your Python program.

Please be advised that the stitching of static maps tiles is prohibited by the Google Maps API Terms of Service. Have a look at paragraph 10.5 (b) of Terms of Service, it reads

No derivative works. You will not modify or create a derivative work based on any Content unless expressly permitted to do so under these Terms. For example, the following are prohibited: (i) creating server-side modification of map tiles; (ii) stitching multiple static map images together to display a map that is larger than permitted in the Maps APIs Documentation; or (iii) tracing or copying the copyrightable elements of Google’s maps or building outlines and creating a new work, such as a new mapping or navigation dataset.

You should use Google Maps JavaScript API or Static Maps API to draw routes and be compliant with Terms of Service.

Have also look at paragraph 10.1 (a) that reads

No access to APIs or Content except through the Service. You will not access the Maps API(s) or the Content except through the Service. For example, you must not access map tiles or imagery through interfaces or channels (including undocumented Google interfaces) other than the Maps API(s).
