A browser-based map composer that transforms a city, neighbourhood, or state into a styled image for a phone, desktop, or print.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

Field notes

Mapthis builds a map graphic around a selected coordinate rather than presenting a conventional navigational map. The visible workflow includes verified-place search, reframing, adjustable city or region extent, and detail settings ranging from essential to maximum. Its Reykjavík example uses a 3.5 km city view and draws on OpenStreetMap street and water data. The interface offers phone, desktop, and print layouts, with PNG and JPEG exports listed up to 4000 pixels.
