Hi,

Can somebody tell me where or how one could acquire the maps at various zoom levels, say if you wanted to throw it into the Google Maps API or something?

Also, might be good to have access to icons and such too.

I’d like to try experimenting with the new API, but I don’t know where to source these images.

Thanks!

You can get all item icons from the TP. Fastest way to do that is pulling all the item data using gw2spidy. http://www.gw2spidy.com/api/v0.9/json/all-items/all

For maps, you’ll have to do what everyone else does and grab your own. If you’re willing to accept maps with icons and area names on them, the wiki has maps of all the zones at the max zoom level.

I haven’t done any experimentation with the game files. I know with WoW people built tools to go through all the art. I was hoping somebody might have found a way to grab all the maps assets from the game files.

I would not know where to start. :/
