#34San 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.
This is an artistic project to make a fun and artsy poster, so it's not at all "suspicious" that the map projection is not critical to the artwork.
It also appears to be open source, so perhaps you can open a pull request with your improvements based on your cartographical experience.

You are absolutely correct. Suspicious was the wrong word and I did not mean to criticize the author or the work.

#37I tried it in a python3 venv, but the download data step is stuck at 0% unfortunately.
The bar only updates once that entire step is complete (ie, if step 1 of 3 is downloading roads, it won't tell you what % of roads have been downloaded, but rather it will remain at 0% until all roads are downloaded at which point it will jump to 33%).

For something DIY, Rasterbator.net can make you a poster-sized print in multiple sheets. You’ll need some elbow grease to assemble the print.
