StaticMaps npm version

A Node.js library for creating map images with markers, polylines, polygons and text. This library is a JavaScript implementation of Static Map.

Map with polyline

Prerequisites

Image manipulation is based on Sharp. Pre-compiled libvips binaries for sharp are provided for use with Node.js versions 14+ on macOS (x64, ARM64), Linux (x64, ARM64) and Windows (x64, x86) platforms. For other OS or using with Heroku, Docker, AWS Lambda please refer to sharp installation instructions.

Getting Started

Initialization

import StaticMaps from 'staticmaps';
const options = {
  width: 600,
  height: 400
};
const map = new StaticMaps(options);

Map options

Parameter Default Description
width Required Width of the output image in px
height Required Height of the output image in px
paddingX 0 (optional) Minimum distance in px between map features and map border
paddingY 0 (optional) Minimum distance in px between map features and map border
tileUrl (optional) Tile server URL for the map base layer or null for empty base layer. {x},{y},{z} or {quadkey} supported.
tileSubdomains [] (optional) Subdomains of tile server, usage ['a', 'b', 'c']
tileLayers [] (optional) Tile layers to use, usage [{tileUrl: ..., tileSubdomains: ...}, {tileUrl: ..., tileSubdomains: ...}] (replaces tileUrl and tileSubdomains if set)
tileSize 256 (optional) Tile size in pixel
tileRequestTimeout (optional) Timeout for the tiles request
tileRequestHeader {} (optional) Additional headers for the tiles request (default: {})
tileRequestLimit 2 (optional) Limit concurrent connections to the tiles server
zoomRange { min: 1, max: 17 } (optional) Defines the range of zoom levels to try
maxZoom (optional) DEPRECATED: Use zoomRange.max instead: forces zoom to stay at least this far from the surface, useful for tile servers that error on high levels
reverseY false (optional) If true, reverse the y index of the tiles to match the TMS naming format

Usage Examples

Simple map w/ zoom and center

const zoom = 13;
const center = [13.437524,52.4945528];

await map.render(center, zoom);
await map.image.save('center.png');

Output

Map with zoom and center

Simple map with bounding box

If specifying a bounding box instead of a center, the optimal zoom will be calculated.

const bbox = [
  11.414795,51.835778,  // lng,lat of first point
  11.645164,51.733833   // lng,lat of second point, ...
];

await map.render(bbox);
await map.image.save('bbox.png');

Output

Map with bbox

Map with single marker

const marker = {
  img: `${__dirname}/marker.png`, // can also be a URL,
  offsetX: 24,
  offsetY: 48,
  width: 48,
  height: 48,
  coord: [13.437524, 52.4945528],
 };
map.addMarker(marker);
await map.render();
await map.image.save('single-marker.png');

You're free to specify a center as well, otherwise the marker will be centered.

Output

Map with marker

Map with multiple marker

const marker = {
  img: `${__dirname}/marker.png`, // can also be a URL
  offsetX: 24,
  offsetY: 48,

map.addMarker(marker);
marker.coord = [13.430524,52.4995528];
map.addMarker(marker);
marker.coord = [13.410524,52.5195528];
map.addMarker(marker);

await map.render();

    zoomRange: {
      max: 8, // NASA server does not support level 9 or higher
    }
  };

NASA Blue Marble with text

Tile server with subdomains

{s} - subdomain (subdomain), is necessary in order not to fall into the limit for requests to the same domain. Some servers can block your IP if you get tiles from one of subdomains of tile server.

const options = {
    width: 1024,
    height: 1024,
    tileUrl: 'https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
    tileSubdomains: ['a', 'b', 'c'],
};

const map = new StaticMaps(options);

await map.render([13.437524, 52.4945528], 13);
await map.image.save('test/out/subdomains.png');

Mulitple tile layers

const options = {
    width: 1024,
    height: 600,
    tileLayers: [{
      tileUrl: 'https://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
    }, {
      tileUrl: 'http://www.openfiremap.de/hytiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
    }],
};

const map = new StaticMaps(options);

await map.render([13.437524, 52.4945528], 13);
await map.image.save('test/out/multipleLayers.png');
