About this piece
Custom City Map is a printed street map of the city that matters to you: where you grew up, fell in love or call home. You pick the city, zoom from the whole city to a few streets, choose a map shape and colors, and add your title, names and date. A live preview shows the finished map.
How it works
- Your place: type a city and pick it from the list, add a date, then use Zoom to show the whole city or a few streets, and choose a map shape.
- Your words: write a title, your names and a line of your own, then pick the colors: Paper, Midnight, Blush, Black or Classic.
- Finish and size: choose the finish, the shape and the size.
Finishes
- Canvas Print: Printed on canvas, stretched over a solid wooden inner frame and ready to hang.
- Framed Print: A solid wood frame at least 1.2 inches (30 mm) deep, a conservation mat board, an acrylic front and fine art paper of 200 g/m2 or more.
- Poster Print: Printed on poster paper and sent unframed, ready for a frame of your own.
- Digital File: A print-ready file sent by email after your order is checked, to print yourself.
Good to know
- What you see in the live preview is what prints.
- Map shapes: classic (an inset rectangle), circle, heart, house or full bleed.
- A small credit line for the map data is printed on the map, as the map sources require.
- Personalized products are printed from your details, so they cannot be returned for a change of mind. A print that arrives damaged, faulty or misprinted is replaced free and nothing is sent back: write to us first.
The maps use data from Mapbox and OpenStreetMap and their data sources. To learn more, visit mapbox.com/about/maps and openstreetmap.org/copyright.

Questions, answered
The short version of our policies. Anything else, write to support@canvaspiece.com.
-
How do I choose the city for my map?
Start typing the city name in the Place box and pick it from the list that appears. The map centers on that city, and the Zoom slider lets you show the whole city or only a few streets.
-
How much of the city does the map show?
You decide with the Zoom slider. Zoomed out, the map shows the whole city. Zoomed in, it shows a few streets. The live preview redraws as you move the slider, so you can stop when the area looks right.
-
What map shapes can I choose?
Five: classic, an inset rectangle; circle; heart; house; and full bleed, where the map fills the print and your text sits on a small plate. The preview shows each shape with your own city.
-
Where does the map data come from?
The streets come from OpenStreetMap data. A small credit line for the map data is printed on every map, as the map sources require for printed products. Nothing else is added except your title, names, place and date.
-
Can I use a city map for something other than where we met?
Yes. The title, names and line are yours to change, so the map can mark a hometown, a first apartment, a city you moved to or a place you want to remember. The starting title is Where It All Began.
-
Will the colors fade over time?
Archival inks are made to resist fading. Keep the piece out of long hours of direct sun and the color should hold well.
-
How do I pick the right size for my wall?
A good starting point is a piece that fills about two thirds to three quarters of the wall space above the furniture it hangs over. Measure that space before you choose a size.
-
How long will my order take?
8 to 10 business days from the day you order with free Standard Shipping: 2 to 3 business days to print and pack, then 6 to 7 in transit. Express Shipping, a paid option at checkout, takes 6 to 8 business days. Every piece is printed to order and shipped from within your region. Full detail is on the shipping policy.
-
Can I return this piece if it is not right?
Personalized pieces are printed from your details and cannot be returned for a change of mind. A piece that arrives damaged, faulty or misprinted is replaced free and nothing is sent back: write to us first.
-
