I'm proud to announce that the first stable version of MapPrint is out! You can read all about it here: github.com/afast/map_print The motivation behind this gem was to provide a way of exporting maps to png or pdf.

Go ahead and take a look, there are a few examples and an in-depth explanation in the wiki.
