what are travel maps for photo books?
These maps are single page designs that you can insert into any photo book to showcase your travel destinations. They are fully customisable and feature a map base, locations, a travel path, titles and embellishments such as travel icons or flags. Please note, these maps are designed manually by one of our team members and take approximately 3-5 working days.

LONG DISTANCE POP UP MAPS
Extra Maps
- It’s hard to imagine how a map will look as the distance between the locations can make a map very crowded. For this reason, we separate long and short distance travel.
- If your starting (departure) point is very far from your main locations, that is the long distance leg of your journey. For example, if you travel from Copenhagen to South Africa, your locations in Africa will be very close to each other but the starting point (Copenhagen) will be very far.
- Showing all these on one map will make the Africa locations tiny and hardly visible. In this case, we will add a smaller pop up map that shows your long distance travel. You can also omit your starting point (Copenhagen) and have just your destinations (South Africa) on the map.
CITY MAPS
city Maps
City Maps are very similar to travel maps but they show visited locations within one city, town or village. Many of our travel map styles have a matching city map style too!
- all locations MUST be in the same city
- locations are NOT connected by a travel path
