Fantastic! Please think on more map styles (like on https://www.mapbox.com/design/)
Johan Thorsson, almost 8 years ago Thanks Mariusz!
We have tested some new designs, let's see what we can come up with :)

Freakin genius you! Looks great, works like magic and is fairly priced.

Your kind words means the world to us!

James McGill, almost 8 years ago $60 though?

That's not much for a big-ass poster is it?

The only cheap poster are those Justin Bieber ones at Walmart. Even those are about $15.
Johan Thorsson, almost 8 years ago (edited almost 8 years ago ) But hey, Justin Bieber-poster - they are beautiful! :)
James, It's not cheap to print one single high quality poster and ship it worldwide. We would love to have lower prices, but then we have to come up with some other printing solution. Today we use a print on demand service with the highest quality that we found world wide. And we have tested a lot.

I love maps. I use to know the cool maps from https://cityartposters.com but these are also ok.
Johan Thorsson, almost 8 years ago Thanks for sharing Elliott :)

Beautiful - but only suitable for a city/town with a lot of roads. The further out you zoom the more interesting it becomes.
If you want a location in the countryside, there's a lot of white space - perhaps some presets where grass is shaded in grey, or bodies of inland water are given a shade too.
Johan Thorsson, almost 8 years ago Thanks for your thoughts!
I agree with you. There is room for improvement in the countryside.

These are amazing and I will be buying some as soon as I can.
One thing I noticed was when you use the 'Strict' Layout without a tagline, it would be nice if the other two labels centered in the space: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3gja8pv9wrm691e/Screenshot%202015-07-10%2000.11.35.png?dl=0
I would probably order a poster without a tagline which is how I noticed this. Just a thought. These are great and the UI is slick and fast.
Johan Thorsson, almost 8 years ago (edited almost 8 years ago ) Hello Nick,
Thanks for taking time. I put this on our (long) todolist. We have some other small improvements regarding this.
Also, thanks for your kind words!

These are VERY well done. Nice job. Axis Maps does some very nice presentations that are similar, but all lines are drawn with type.
Johan Thorsson, almost 8 years ago (edited almost 8 years ago ) Thanks Adam, really appreciate you taking time!

This is great. Products look gorgeous, the limited customisation is a great idea and useful enough. Site is nice and clear and easy to use. Only thing I'd recommend is making the poster preview a little bit bigger as it's a bit tiny on my iMac. Great work.
Johan Thorsson, almost 8 years ago Thanks Andrew! Love your kind words. It means the world to us!
We will look a at the poster preview.

they might want to remove the "featured and mentioned in designer news" that links to a 5-month old post with no action on it.
Hah didn't see that... odd that DN let me post it again. S'nice though.
Johan Thorsson, almost 8 years ago (edited almost 8 years ago ) We will have this updated! Thanks Jim!

Seriously great job guys. I noticed that when I shared the link in Slack the image preview included my custom map... was that something you did especially for Slack?
Johan Thorsson, almost 8 years ago Thanks Chris, and thanks for sharing our work! Appreciate it.
We did this feature to make it possible to share your awesome designed map poster to all your friends and followers via Facebook, Pinterest etc. So not especially for Slack (as we use as well).
