What is a city map poster?

A city map poster is a personalized map created from OpenStreetMap data. In the editor, choose the city, style, and text from 17 themes.

Are the maps accurate?

Each map uses the OpenStreetMap data available for the selected city.

What occasions are city map posters good for?

City map posters make meaningful gifts for any occasion tied to a special place. The most popular occasions include weddings (a map of the city where you married), births (the city where your baby was born), anniversaries (where you first met or had your first date), and engagements (the place of the proposal). They also work beautifully for housewarmings (a map of the new neighborhood), graduations (the university city), retirements (a career city), memorials (a loved one's hometown), and holidays like Valentine's Day, Christmas, Mother's Day, and Father's Day. What makes a city map poster special as a gift is that it is both deeply personal and visually stunning. The recipient sees the actual streets of a place that holds meaning for them, personalized with a date, a message, and coordinates — something no other gift can offer.

What formats are available?

A4, US Letter, A3, 30×40 cm, A2, 16×20 and 18×24 in formats.

Can I choose any city?

Yes, you can choose any city, town, or village in the world. Simply type a location name in our search bar, and our geocoding engine centers the map on that place instantly. The tool works for major world capitals like Paris, London, New York, and Tokyo, as well as smaller towns and rural villages. You can also fine-tune the exact center point by adjusting the map position manually. The level of street detail varies by location — densely mapped cities in Europe, North America, and East Asia show the most complete street networks, while more remote areas may display fewer minor roads. If a specific village appears sparse, try centering on a nearby larger town instead. Our most popular cities include Paris, London, New York, Berlin, Rome, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Lisbon, each showing thousands of detailed streets.
