Map2Image – Download Beautiful City Maps

Hacker News

Hey there, we're excited to share our passion project with you: map2image.com. A haven for those who appreciate the elegance of city maps, i.e. beautiful art merged seamlessly with informative content. Many of my friends are from abroad and lived in various cities around the world. I built Map2Image with the help of a friend to generate images as small presents, hoping the maps would remind them of the bustling cities they once called home! I hope you enjoy them as well! Our goal: offering you well-designed city maps that elevate your home with sophistication. All maps can be downloaded for free and can directly be printed to serve as stunning art on your walls. We've put a lot of heart into this in the past: from trying our luck on Etsy, selling on private channels, evaluating different company structures, and navigating the maze of automated printing and shipping to customers... it didn't work that well and instead of letting this project die, we made a subset of images available for free. For sure the maps are not perfect (yet), but we make fixes occasionally. Also, the website was handcrafted without much Bootstrap knowledge. We will try to improve loading times and usability at some point. So, stay tuned. Happy about feedback & thanks in advance!
