Thanks Ben! That helped. I ended up using this method instead… map.arcgisimage(service='ESRI_Imagery_World_2D', xpixels = 1500, verbose= True) Works great! - Jorma -- View this message in context: http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/Create-image-with-higher-resolution-basemap-tp44428p44

That function is merely using the (relatively) lower res image that comes packaged with basemap, and comes with features to help downsample it if needed. I think you can get higher res images using the wmsimage() method. I hope that points you to the right direction! Cheers! Ben Root On Tue, No

Hi Folks - i have a simply Python script below that shows a low res basemap of Maui using the Blue Marble imagery. Can anyone provide info on how to create a high res map? Thanks! - Jorma from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np map = Basemap
