contextily: context geo tiles in Pythoncontextily is a small Python 3 (3.9 and above) package to retrieve tile maps from the
internet. It can add those tiles as basemap to matplotlib figures or write tile
maps to disk into geospatial raster files. Bounding boxes can be passed in both
WGS84 (EPSG:4326) and Spheric Mercator (EPSG:3857). See the notebook
contextily_guide.ipynb for usage.
The current tile providers that are available in contextily are the providers
defined in the xyzservices
