Create Your Printable Map — FreeHow It Works
From raw route to printed map in three steps.
Import or Draw
Upload a GPX or KML file, or draw your route by clicking directly on the interactive map.
Style & Label
Pick a map style, adjust colors, add stop labels, overlay a title, and choose your print size.
Export & Print
Download a high-resolution image ready for your photobook, poster printer, or framing service.
Built for Printing
Every feature designed with print quality in mind.
Print-Ready Resolution
Export at 300 or 600 DPI — sharp enough for photobook pages, wall posters, and professional offset printing.
Multiple Map Styles
Choose from satellite, street, terrain, and watercolor styles. Each one prints beautifully on glossy or matte paper.
Custom Labels & Stops
Add named stops with dates, reorder your itinerary, and style each marker to tell the story of your trip.
GPX & KML Import
Upload tracks from Strava, Komoot, Google Earth, or Garmin. Your waypoints and route are placed on the map automatically.
Title & Legend Overlays
Add a title, subtitle, and route legend directly on the canvas — no extra editing software needed before printing.
Photobook-Friendly Sizing
Export at A4, letter, or custom dimensions so the map drops straight into your photobook layout without cropping.
Why Print Your Travel Map?
A printed travel map turns a digital route into something you can hold, frame, or slot into a photobook. Unlike a screenshot from Google Maps, a purpose-built printable map uses high-resolution tiles, clean labels, and a curated color palette that looks sharp on paper. Whether you hiked through Patagonia or road-tripped across Italy, the map becomes a single image that captures the entire journey at a glance.
Map My Memories exports at 300 and 600 DPI — the same resolution standards used by professional print shops, photobook services like CEWE and Shutterfly, and large-format poster printers. You pick the exact pixel dimensions before export, so there is no guesswork about whether the file will fit your layout.
Printable Maps for Photobooks
Photobooks tell the story of a trip through images, but a route map adds context that photos alone cannot. Place a full-page map at the start of a chapter to show where you went, then follow it with photos from each stop. The map ties the narrative together and gives readers a sense of scale and geography.
To get the best results, export your map at A4 or letter size at 300 DPI. Use glossy or semi-gloss paper for vivid satellite imagery, or matte paper if you prefer the watercolor or terrain map styles. If your photobook service accepts custom page sizes, our editor lets you set exact dimensions down to the pixel.
Import Routes from Any Source
You do not need to remember every turn. Import a GPX file from Strava, Komoot, or Garmin Connect and the route appears on the map instantly. Google Timeline KML exports work too. If you traveled years ago and have no GPS data, simply click on the map to add stops manually — the editor draws a route between them automatically.
Once your route is on the map, customize everything: swap the map style between satellite and terrain, change route colors, add or rename stops, and overlay a title. When it looks right, hit export and download a print-ready JPG at your chosen resolution. The whole process takes under five minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a printable travel map be?
For photobooks, A4 or letter size at 300 DPI works best. For wall prints or posters, use A3 or larger at 600 DPI. Our editor lets you choose the exact resolution before export.
Can I add my own photos to the map?
The map shows your travel route with labeled stops. While photo overlay isn't available yet, the exported map is perfect for placing alongside photos in a photobook layout.
What paper should I use for printing?
Glossy or semi-gloss photo paper gives the best results for travel maps. Matte paper works well for a more subtle, artistic look. Use at least 200gsm weight for durability.
Can I print maps from past trips?
Yes — import your GPS track from Strava, Komoot, or Google Timeline, or manually add stops from memory. Many of our users create maps of trips from years ago.
Is the printable map high enough quality for professional printing?
Yes — our 300 DPI exports meet professional print standards, and 600 DPI exports exceed them. Both are suitable for offset printing, photobook services, and large-format printers.
