Framed custom 3D printed map of Thurles, County Tipperary

For the ones who moved away

Millions of people around the world call somewhere in Ireland home, even if they have never lived there. A 3D map of the home town or the home parish, printed in Dublin from real elevation data, is one of the most personal gifts you can send to family abroad: the river, the main street, the hill behind the house, all there in relief.

It works the other way round too. If you moved to Ireland, or anywhere, from somewhere else, a map of home on the wall makes the distance a little shorter.

Mountains and coastlines in real relief

We build every map from open map data and elevation data, and we exaggerate the height just enough for the landscape to read clearly at this size. Mountain villages, islands and stretches of coastline come out especially well. Mark the family home, the school or the church with a heart, a pin or a star.

For birthdays, St Patrick's Day and retirements

It makes a lasting birthday or retirement present for parents and grandparents, and a St Patrick's Day gift for the diaspora. Design it in a few minutes, see it in 3D, and we post it worldwide from Ireland.

Questions

Can you make a map of a small village or townland?

Yes. The map data covers villages, townlands and rural areas everywhere, and the relief of the hills and the coast comes from real elevation data. Zoom in on the village, or out to show the whole parish.

Do you ship to the US, Canada and Australia?

Yes. We post from Ireland with An Post. Outside the EU your country may charge import duty on arrival; the details are on our shipping page.

Can it show where my family's house was?

Yes, mark it with a heart, a pin or a star, and add up to two more spots, such as the church or the school.

How much is it?

€49.50 for 10 × 15 cm and €74.50 for 20 × 25 cm, framed and ready to hang, plus shipping.
