Python implementation of geographical tiling using QuadKeys as proposed by Microsoft
This is a feature-rich Python implementation of QuadKeys, an approach to geographical tiling, popularized by Microsoft to be used for Bing Maps.
In essence, the concept is to recursively divide the flat, two-dimensional world map into squares. Each square contains four squares as children, which again contain four squares and so on, up centimeter-level precision. Each of these squares is uniquely identifiable with a string like 021030032.
For more details on the concept, please refer to the original article.
muety/pyquadkey2 originates from a fork of buckhx/QuadKey, which is not maintained anymore. It builds on top of that project and adds:
This library requires Python 3.10 or higher. To compile it from source, Cython is required in addition.
$ pip install pyquadkey2
Pip installation is only tested for Linux and Mac, yet. If you encounter problems with the installation on Windows, please report them as a new issue.
