Custom GPX Route Map – Personalised Wooden Activity Map

Custom GPX Route Map – Personalised Wooden Activity Map

Personalised wooden wall art created from GPX data or official event routes.

Turn a meaningful outdoor activity into handcrafted wall art. This 3D wooden map is created from real GPX data or official route information, transforming a memorable ride, run, walk, hike, or endurance event into a refined and lasting keepsake.

Whether it’s a cycling milestone, marathon, charity walk, trail run, or personal challenge, each map captures the story behind the effort — beautifully translated into layered wood.

Each piece is precision laser-cut, layered, and framed in Japan. The result is a clean, tactile map that fits naturally into modern homes, offices, and studios while quietly celebrating an important achievement.

Why This Makes a Meaningful Gift

These maps are most often purchased as gifts by partners, family members, friends, and spouses for cyclists, runners, and outdoor athletes.

• Personal – created from a real activity or event
• Meaningful – celebrates effort, achievement, and memory
• Distinctive – layered wood artwork, not a printed poster
• Display-ready – framed and ready to hang

No technical knowledge required — I’ll help gather what’s needed.

• Elevation chart – raised wooden bar graph (included when suitable)
• Activity stats – distance, time, elevation gain, pace, speed, or power (when provided)

• Water features – rivers, lakes, coastline where applicable
• Railway or cable lines – included when relevant to the area

How It Works

1. Place your order.
2. Share the activity details using the form on this page.
3. GPX file help:
   • If you have a GPX file, you can upload it directly.
   • If you don’t have access to the GPX file, I can usually download it from the athlete’s Strava or Ride with GPS page.
   • For official races or organised events, the route information is often publicly available — I can source what’s needed.
   Please don’t worry if you’re unsure — the route can almost always be found.
4. I’ll prepare a visual mock-up for your approval before production begins.

Notes

The level of visible detail depends on route length, terrain complexity, and frame size. Longer routes provide a broader overview, while shorter routes allow for finer detail. Each piece is crafted from natural wood, so variations in grain and finish are expected — making every map truly one of a kind.
