Create a Custom Road Trip Map

Design your own personal road trip map as a downloadable file. Mark the exact roads you drove, add stops and points of interest, and adjust colors and styling to match your preferences. The result is a high-resolution map that you can hang on your wall as memorabilia.

What Is a Road Trip Map?

A road trip map is a customizable map that shows a road trip’s route, stops, and points of interest. It can be created before a trip to plan where to go, or after a trip to document where you traveled.

A road trip map is usually a static visual map (not turn-by-turn navigation). People customize it by highlighting specific roads, marking destinations, and adjusting colors and styling for a clear overview of the trip.

How to utilize a road trip map

A road trip map is often used as a personal keepsake or gift for anyone that travelled alongside you. Some customers create map posters to hang on their wall and others use them in photobooks alongside pictures of their road trips. Because the map is delivered as a digital file, it can be reused across different formats.

FAQ

Can I update my road trip map later?

You can return to the editor and make adjustments before downloading your final version. If you want to change anything about your map after purchasing, you can reach out to us via our support platform.

Is a road trip map suitable for wall art?

Absolutely. The layout, zoom level, and color choices can be adjusted to suit a decorative format while still clearly showing the journey. For larger formats, larger than 66 cm x 66 cm, we recommend purchasing an SVG, which can be scaled to any size you want.

Can I show different modes of travel in my road trip map?

Yes. You can display what mode of transport you used. Car, bike, and pedestrian routes can be drawn along roads with the magnet tool, straight lines or arc lines. Routes travelled by ship, train, or airplane can be drawn with straight lines or arc lines.
