This is a desktop application for creating static maps directly using OpenStreetMap data.
It aims to have a very simple workflow that non-engineers can used to create maps. The OSM data is directly imported, the user styles the map, and then generate the tiles all from within the application without any other tools.
It has its own style sheet system that is easier to use than the industrial grade mapnik xml, cartocss, or Mapbox GL JS. Because OpenStreetMap data is directly imported, without any filtering, all the data that is available in OpenStreetMap can be used in create maps. Therefor, specialty maps can be created directly from OpenStreetMap data.
The dependencies include QT 5, BZip2, zlib, expat, Proj4, SQLiteCpp, sqlite3, geos, and osmium.
It is early days still, but to see its output, visit the www.grotontrails.org site and select interactive maps.
