About MapCraft
We make terrain pieces that keep meaningful places and routes in view.
MapCraft started with Strava activity maps, but the broader idea is simple: turn a landscape that matters into something physical. That can be a route, a climb, a hometown ridge, or a place you want to print and keep. The result can be a display-ready print, or a terrain-only study from the city map flow.
Why We Build This
Some routes stay with you. The first marathon you finished. The col you climbed before the sun came up. The trail that turned a bad week around.
Screenshots fade. Strava entries scroll off the page. We started MapCraft because we wanted something better — a way to take the route that mattered and make it into something you can hold, hang on a wall, and see every morning.
Every map is 3D-printed from real terrain data, mounted in a clean frame, and built from the exact GPS trace of your activity. It's your route, your effort, your finish — cast in relief.
The goal is not to make generic wall art. It is to make a piece that still means something when the event, trip, or training block is long past.
How It Works
Connect your Strava account, pick the activity, and preview your route as a 3D topographic map. Choose a size, toggle the stats you want on the plaque, and order a framed print.
Each map is made to order. No stock inventory, no generic designs. The terrain is generated from your GPS data, so every piece is one of a kind.
You can see the full flow on how it works, browse finished examples in the gallery, or use the terrain editor for non-Strava locations.
What We Make
Most people come to MapCraft for a route-based keepsake: something tied to a ride, run, hike, or race that still carries weight. Others use us for terrain-first pieces of cities, mountain areas, or coastlines where there is no activity to overlay.
That is why the site has both the Strava activity map flow and the terrain-only city map flow. The same terrain engine supports both.
Who It's For
Runners, cyclists, hikers — anyone who uses Strava and wants a physical reminder of the routes that meant something. It also makes a great gift for the athlete in your life who already has all the gear.
It also fits designers, makers, and travelers who want a clean terrain object from a meaningful place without the route overlay at all.
