There's two large PNG download links on http://fred.dev.openstreetmap.org/lowzoom/ - probably not exactly what you want because this does not aim to be a good world map but rather a good indication of OSM data density.

Re: [Talk-GB] Ways to get a big image of the world?
Hi again, I found 90% of what I wanted, and that's this little gem: http://print.mapwebbing.eu/printcomposer It allowed me to create an A0 world map and download it in like 30 seconds. The only things I could want more would be to have all the city names be in English and be able to change the basemap, which for some reason I can't at high zooms (or should I saw low zooms).

Re: [Talk-GB] Ways to get a big image of the world?
Hello, Have you looked at using QGIS and the OpenLayers plugin. You should be able to use the OpenStreetMap layer and create a new Composer of any size you like. QGIS used to not like using Tile sources to create print outs but it did just work with an internal tile server, it did give a warning but then worked. I can't test with the actual OpenLayers sources at the moment due to being behind a restricted corporate firewall. I could test if it works tonight, if others on here don't confirm it works before then. regards, Steven On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 9:48 AM, Filip Chirita Rares Cristian chirita.ra...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everyone, Long time no talk.
