BIGMAP Bigmap is tool to let you create big maps. See it running here: Usage is also fully documented on that page. You may want to use the newer version of that service, BigMap 2. The javascript/DHTML interface interface doesn't actually perform tile stitching as you adjust the map, it is simply displaying tile images side-by-side dynamically, however the interface provides a download link for a custom generated little perl script mkmap.pl If you download and run this script it will download the tiles and perform stitching to yield a large image. This is one of several approaches to creating Static map images. The generated perl script is kind of a bulk downloading tool, and so should be handled with consideration of the tile usage policy, although unlike other tile downloaders (see Category:Tile downloading) it only operates at a single zoom level, and the BigMap interface would encourage people to avoid stupidly big areas of tiles.

[site] Free Geography Tools Polymaps 3D Paper Model of Mt. Fuji I employed different terrain modeling technique than in previous models to highlight elevation levels. The mountain below is Mt. Fuji: Each horizontal paper layer equals to 200 meters of altitude. There are 13 horizontal paper layers, so that the topmost layer altitude is 3600m above sea level and the lowest one is 1200m above sea level. I gathered the elevation levels curves using Maperitive. Zoom the map to desired area.

It is an interactive map composed of multiple freely available, community-generated data sources: All the Flickr shapefiles rendered as a semi-transparent white ground on top of which all the other layers are displayed. Urban areas from Natural Earth both as a standalone layer and combined with Flickr shapefiles for cities and neighbourhoods. In all there are four different raster layers and six data layers (that mean all the map data is sent in its raw form and rendered as visual elements by the browser) that may be visible depending on the bounding box and zoom level of the map. It looks (at least for the stuff you can see) like this: But when you put it all together here's what the world looks like at zoom level 3: This clustering effect offers a view of built environments around the world but also a visual representation of those places where no data has been recorded. At zoom level 8 city names are shown alongside motorways:
