That still leaves some room for interpretation.  You might consider
specifying a bounding box, desired image dimensions and resolution.
There is also room for things like finished text size, and which
points of interest.

So I rendered the area in your link at about 8500x8500 pixels.

You can do all of this and more yourself.  It takes a little patience,
a little GNU/Linux knowledge and a few free software tools.
