Making vectors

Post by nikonwalker »

Hi guys,
I have been asked to make something and it has me puzzled. I want to get a street map of a town , turn all the streets and wording into vectors so I can engrave it into timber.
There some suggestions on youtube etc but involve buying software and it is going to be a once job.
There are ones you can buy on etsy but I want a particular town.
Would love any suggestions anyone can give.
Terry

This looks good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twPgQ1gvQrs. It uses open source maps.

Haven't used this but one of the Youtubers used this to create their map for cnc carving.
