A map print of any lake in the world: search it, and the lake is filled in deep colour with the hills and mountains around it drawn in contour lines from real elevation data. For Lake Tahoe, Lake Como, the loch where you spent every summer, or the lake by the cabin. Choose how much of the area the map shows, from 3 to 80 kilometres across, and tap the map to move its middle. Pick fewer, bolder contour lines or many fine ones. Colours: lake blue, forest green, stone, terracotta, black and white or night, or any colour of your own, with the paper and water matched to it. The words are yours: the name in spaced capitals, the coordinates, and a line under it such as the region and country, or the date you were there. You get a print-ready PDF at the size you choose, from A5 to A1 or 8×10 to 24×36 inches, each laid out for its own shape so nothing is cut off. It's ready the moment you pay; nothing is posted. Elevation data: Terrain Tiles on AWS Open Data. Water © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Questions

Is it the real land?

Yes. The contour lines are drawn from real elevation data (the Terrain Tiles on AWS Open Data, from the SRTM survey and national maps), and the lakes, rivers and sea from OpenStreetMap. Search any place on Earth and you see its own hills and valleys.

Which places work?

Any mountain, national park, lake, valley or island in the world. Search it by name, choose how many kilometres across the map shows, from 3 to 80, and tap the map to move its middle.

Can I change the colour?

Yes: lake blue, forest green, stone, terracotta, black and white or night, or pick any colour of your own and the paper and water are matched to it.

What does it say?

The name in spaced capitals, the coordinates (and the summit's height for a mountain), and a line under it such as the region and country. Change any of it, or write your own line: the date of your climb, your names.

Can I put my own hike on it?

Yes, with the hiking route listing: upload the GPX file from Strava, Komoot, Garmin Connect, AllTrails or your watch, and your route is drawn over the contour lines, the map fitted around it, with the distance, the climb and the time read from the file. On Strava's website open the activity, then the three dots and Export GPX.

What are ridgelines?

A second style: instead of contour lines seen from above, the land is drawn as rows of lines from north to south, each lifted by the height under it, so the mountain rises out of them like a sound wave (the look of the famous Unknown Pleasures album cover). Every listing can switch between the two.

How tall is the summit on the print?

Mountains open with the official height. The elevation data rounds off sharp summits a little, so for a peak you search yourself, type the official height to print it exactly.

What size is it?

Portrait, at the paper size you choose, from A5 to A1 or 8×10 to 24×36 inches, each laid out for its own shape. It prints at home or at any print shop.

When do I get my files?

Straight away. After paying you land on your download page, and the receipt email links to it too. The link stays open for 30 days (for a gift, 30 days from the day it's delivered), so download your files and keep them safe. If you need them again later, just write to us.

Is anything posted to me?

No — these are digital files. You print them yourself at home or at a print shop, so there's no shipping and no waiting.
