The map of Venice seems to be the only one whose image is "squeezed" horizontally. Wondering why.

need to take into consideration the length and width of the city and choose distance appropriately. I haven't followed my own suggestion here - https://github.com/originalankur/maptoposter?tab=readme-ov-f... will fix.

Hi! I generated a map as well, but indeed, the map is squeezed horizontally. I have here a screenshot from a map and the poster: https://photos.diffop.be/apps/photos/public/h6JKMJImLZCXutcT...

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

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.
