If you have collected GPS tracks, you know that the results can have varying accuracy. The track points collected along a route are not always on the road and can be jittery.
Snapping GPS tracks to Roads using PyQGIS and OSRM
Exporting Print Layouts from Processing Scripts
When trying to automate your GIS workflows, one important step is the production of maps. Creating and exporting maps in QGIS is done via the Print Layout. One can automate creation of maps via the a rich Python API using the QgsLayout class.
See our post Rendering Print Layouts from QGIS Models for a no-code solution to exporting print layouts.

When you want to buffer features that are spread across a large area (such as global layers), there is no suitable projection that can give you accurate results. This is the classic case for needing Geodesic Buffers – where the distances are measured on an ellipsoid or spherical globe. This post explains the basics of geodesic vs. planar buffers well.
