A map of where your story started
Create a where we met map
Use the cafe, campus, street, neighbourhood, or city where you first crossed paths. Centre the map on that place, then replace the standard labels with your names and the date or phrase that explains why it matters.
A where we met map works as an anniversary, engagement, Valentine's Day, or just-because gift for a partner.

Choose a place first, then choose the mood
What to write
Keep the message short enough to live with
Cartova gives you two editable poster labels plus optional coordinates. Use the main line for the strongest idea and the second line for context.
- Where we met
- Where it all began
- The day our paths crossed
- Our story started here
Framing the map
Make the geography support the story
- 1.Search for the venue or street first. A close crop makes the location feel more personal than a city-wide map.
- 2.Use the main label for both names and the second line for the place, date, or a short phrase.
- 3.Keep coordinates visible when the exact point is part of the story.
Why this works as a personal gift
It starts with a real place
The street pattern and coordinates come from the location you choose, so the artwork is tied to your own story.
You control the wording
Use names, a date, or a short line instead of the standard city and country labels.
You can print it locally
The purchase is a 300 DPI PNG. Print it at home or use the print shop and frame you prefer.
Where we met questions
Can I use an exact address or venue?
Yes. Search for the address, venue, street, or neighbourhood. Available map detail depends on OpenStreetMap coverage for that place.
Can I add our names and date?
Yes. Replace the two standard poster labels with names, a date, or a short phrase. You can also keep the coordinates visible.
Is this a physical framed print?
No. Cartova supplies a protected, print-ready 300 DPI PNG after payment. No frame or physical poster is shipped.
Will the downloaded file have a watermark?
No. Public examples are reduced and watermarked. The purchased print file does not contain the public preview watermark.
