About Customaps

Customaps is an online print shop that allows you to create a map of ANYWHERE in the world, in a countless number of styles. Print your map on poster or make it a wall mural. Want to print it yourself? Purchase a digital map instead!

Customaps is located in the land of hockey, beavers and maple syrup... More specifically in Montreal, Canada.

All our maps are proudly designed in Canada. We have partnered with print shops in Montreal, the US and Europe to print and deliver our maps worldwide.

All our maps data is pulled from OpenStreetMap. We can't thank enough the good people at OpenStreetMap for their amazing work and for making map data open source and available to everyone.

Since our maps data comes from OpenStreetMap, we unfortunately don't have control over it. WYSIWYG :)

Unless Themiddleofnowhere is located in outer space, then yes, it's possible! Our map builder allows you to generate a map of ANYWHERE (in the World that is).
