4Title

Text at the bottom of the map required Up to 24 characters. Short titles look best. The headline above the map reads “The Earth Around” in your language.

5Cities on your map optional

Choose up to 15 cities that should appear on your map. It does not matter whether they would be on the map anyway: everything you choose here is shown for sure. The rest of the map is filled with major cities around the world.

Many places share a name: please check the country shown next to each city. The list only offers cities that have a name in the language of your map, so that every label on your map is in that language.

6Special places optional

Where you met, got married, were born or travelled to: mark up to 8 places and give each one its own name. It appears on the map with a star and its distance.

If you leave this empty, the map shows famous places that suit your centre instead, such as the Taj Mahal, the Titanic wreck or the Mariana Trench. Your own places take their spots.

Or click anywhere on the map to set a place.

What happens next: I create your map from exactly these choices and send you a preview through Etsy Messages. Once you approve it, I order the print and it is made and shipped to you. Until then you can still change anything.
