This is on the larger end of what I feel comfortable publishing online. +So if you wish for a copy please `send a DM or email me +<https://bryanbrattlof.com/connect/>`__ and I'll gladly give you a copy. + +Preparing The Data +################## + +**TODO** + +Base-map +######## + +The full write-up is available at +https://bryanbrattlof.com/adding-openstreetmaps-to-matplotlib/ + +Contributing +############ + +Feel free to help in any way you wish. `Buying me Beer +<https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bryanbrattlof>`_, emailing issues, or `patches via +email <https://bryanbrattlof.com/connect/>`_, are all warmly welcomed, +especially beer. + +.. image:: https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green.svg + :alt: License: MIT |
