Updated September 2023<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Everyone knows a special place. Maybe it\u2019s the city you grew up in or the place you used to visit on family vacations. Or perhaps you\u2019ve fallen in love with the city you live in today. Wherever makes your heart smile, city map wall art is a great way to commemorate your favourite places and make them part of your home or office.<\/p>

What\u2019s So Special about City Map Wall Art?<\/h2>

More than a map or a mass-produced piece of wall art, city map wall art puts you in the role of designer to create a truly custom work of art. What\u2019s more, you get to select a city that means something special to you or the person you\u2019re creating it for.<\/p>

Aside from practicalities, there\u2019s always something comforting about knowing where you are in the world or even recalling a special place you once were. It\u2019s no surprise that city maps have been around for centuries \u2014 pretty much since humans began living in larger, organised collectives that became permanent and growing dwellings.<\/p>

It is no surprise that the earliest city map discovered was carved on a fragment of clay tablet and depicts the ancient Sumerian city of Nipper, which you would now find in southeast Iraq. It\u2019s 3,500 years old and clearly shows important temples, the city park, canals, and the protective city walls and their entrance gates.<\/p>

Even today, in the USA, no two cities are quite alike, and whether you love travelling between states or across oceans, there\u2019s always something unique to explore and discover. A Custom City Map Print<\/a> is a great way to find all the hidden gems that add character and intrigue to the places you visit.<\/p>

Your custom city map wall art is created using the latest GPS<\/a> technology to create a scale replica of your chosen city\u2019s major highways, side streets, and back alleys. Much like the vessels in our own bodies, streets are what give every city its life. They carry travellers to their destinations and allow the city to thrive. And every time you look at your Custom Map Print<\/a>, you\u2019ll be inspired to start planning your next adventure.<\/p>

If you\u2019re searching for a unique, unexpected gift, a high-quality print of a beautiful city certainly doesn’t disappoint. Anyone can go to a store and grab a gift off the shelf, but this does little to personalise the experience. What\u2019s more, there\u2019s always the risk that they already have what you bought them.<\/p>

The Perfect Occasion to Gift a Custom Map Print<\/h2>

Opting for a unique piece of custom City Map Wall Art <\/a>brings personalised sentiment to a gift. It shows you know a person well and are more than prepared to put extra care and thought into creating a special present just for them. Thanks to the versatility of city map art, with clever and appropriate personalisation, it makes the ideal gift for a wide range of occasions.<\/p>

Imagine surprising your significant other with a city map depicting exactly where you met for the first time, whether it was a favourite restaurant, a local bar you shared, or even the street corner where you accidentally ran into each other!<\/p>

For a wedding or anniversary gift, how about a bespoke Met, Engaged, Married Map? <\/a>This wonderfully versatile piece of wall art offers the opportunity to reproduce maps for three separate locations: where a couple may have first met, the special spot where the proposal was made, and finally, the venue of the wedding.<\/p>

With special symbols to choose from to mark each address and the option to add text and messages, it\u2019s hard to think of a more personal, special, and heart-warming gift to give or receive. A bespoke cartographic depiction of a unique romantic journey that will undoubtedly take pride of place in a couple\u2019s home forever.<\/p>

Yet city map prints prove to be thoughtful gifts for many other occasions, especially ones where getting an appropriate gift might otherwise be a headache. For example, a beautiful piece of wall art will always make a welcome housewarming present, but how about a print that elegantly maps just where you are in the neighbourhood you moved to?<\/p>

For a graduation at one end of working life or retirement at the other, custom maps depicting a city with a university where so many memories were made or a fondly remembered workplace make a special present that\u2019s sensitive and appropriate as a gift from friends or colleagues.<\/p>

Even as an inspirational gift designed to spark wanderlust in an aspiring traveller or a present for those who\u2019ve already journeyed around the globe, a personalised map of a city they dream of seeing or even spending a while living in, or a place that became a favourite destination, is certain to be received as a wonderful, personal memento. City map art makes excellent gifts for all ages and all occasions.<\/p>

How to Personalise Your City Map Wall Art<\/h2>

One of the benefits of buying a personalised city map instead of one that\u2019s mass-produced is the opportunity to fully customise your print. It\u2019s not just a matter of getting a map of your chosen city printed on paper. It\u2019s also about choosing a colour scheme that speaks to your personal tastes, dialling in on a specific area of a city, and choosing the size and shape of your map. And most importantly, it allows you to add custom text to your print that makes it truly unique to you.<\/p>

How about giving a gift that travels through time? For history enthusiasts, or those who have roots and generations of family in a certain location, how about a map montage, using the latest GPS technology to generate a map of the city they live in as it is today, laid out alongside scans of older maps, depicting how a city looked fifty or even a hundred years ago delivering a fascinating snapshot of how the place a person loves has thrived and grown.<\/p>

Include a message for your gift recipient to make it even more special. Or, add a special date or name of a place to mark a specific occasion in your favourite city. This is a great way to commemorate your wedding day, an anniversary trip, first dates, where you grew up or went to college, or any milestone events in your life. The only limit is your imagination!<\/p>

Tips for Displaying Your City Map Wall Art<\/h2>

Finding a special place for your city map wall art is just as important as the map itself. These beautiful maps are just as artistic and creative as they are informative, and you\u2019ll want to choose a spot in your home or office where you can share their beauty with others.<\/p>

First, you\u2019ll want to choose a nice frame to protect your print and complement its design. If you\u2019ve ordered a print from Positive Prints, you\u2019ll notice we offer several standard sizes that should make framing your print a breeze.<\/p>

Another fun design tip is to create multiple city maps and display them in the same frame. This allows you to create a unique patchwork of your travels and allows a single piece of art to tell a rich story of your life.<\/p>

Though installing a gallery spotlight isn\u2019t required to capture your custom wall map\u2019s beauty, good lighting is always a good idea. The right lighting can help all the little details of your city map art shine and ensure no street or feature goes overlooked.<\/p>
