    Spin the map within the frame. Double-click to reset to 0°.

    A street/satellite layer shown under your design on screen to help you line things up — never included in the exported poster.

    Each shape is its own place. Fill in every spot, add a label & date, then Generate.

    The map is clipped to stay inside the border; the title text sits in the bottom band. Great for city posters.

    Adds soft color washes, pooled edges and paper grain to the map so the export looks hand-painted.

    Sets the poster proportions (e.g. 18 × 24 in, 11 × 14 in, or 210 × 297 mm). Inches by default. Print resolution is set by the download size below.

    These two use the very same relief, depth-source, contour and sun-angle controls as the Topo + Bathy print — they are further down this panel. The poster frame, palette, lift shadow and the title block below the map are the shared poster controls under Design.

    Export a GPX from Strava, Garmin, Apple Health, Wahoo, etc., then upload it here. (Strava connect can come later.)

    Contours use the Color style + line controls below (like the Topo map).

    A side view of the ride/run: elevation against distance along your track. Only appears when the GPX actually carries elevation.

    Title & date come from the file (editable in the Text section). Drag the title, the stats row or the elevation profile right on the poster to reposition them. Drag a corner handle to resize a block, and grab the map's edge or corners to move or resize the map itself. Things snap to the poster centre, the map edges and each other — pink guides show what you're lining up with.

    Puts the map, title, stats and profile back where they started. Colors, fonts and sizes set from the sliders are untouched.

    Reference layers drawn over the whole-US relief.

    Actual charted contours. Coverage is uneven — detailed in some harbors, sparse or none on many coasts. For continuous depth everywhere, leave this off and use the automatic model above.

    Combine any sources. Skip hides the shallowest near-shore layers (the shoreline already comes from OpenStreetMap).

    Upload a bathymetry shapefile (.zip) or GeoJSON of depth contours — the app reads surveyed depth for whatever lake is in view, layered over the hosted bathymetry. Your file stays on your computer. (Free statewide MN data: MN DNR “Lake Bathymetric” zip.)

    Charts you save here are the same library the laser editor uses — reuse them on any map, any device. Your own charts also load automatically when BlueTopo/Select is on.

    Generate a depth map — each depth level it draws gets a color swatch here.

    Click a shape to drop it at the centre of the poster, then drag it to your spot.

      7 · Download

      A raised-relief surface to carve or 3D-print, plus a grayscale depth map for CNC. Height auto-scales to the map’s proportions.

      Save the map to your My Maps library to reopen, rename or organize by state later. Free version exports PNG — need vectors? Use the Pro Editor.
