GW2 Cartographer

Web-based tool which generates high resolution GW2 maps; uses the official GW2 API tiles. There are three modes of generation:

• BMAP (basic map): simply assembles the tiles into a single high-res map
• IMAP (bmap + icons): adds all the important icons like renown hearts, waypoints, hero challenges etc.
• FMAP (bmap + icons + labels): adds all the map region labels (such as Arrowhead Vale in Auric Basin)

More commonly requested bmaps/imaps are already cached, generating fresh fmaps might take a bit longer. Labels might be a bit off, the API is not that precise with them.

Dev environment

If you'd like to try the tool out yourself, the /bin/start-dev.sh script spins up a new dev Docker container. Cloudinary is used as an CDN for the generated maps, so you will also need the following environment variables (in .env): CLOUDINARY_URL, CLOUD_NAME, CLOUD_API_KEY and CLOUD_API_SECRET.
