How a Skylit location map
comes together.
Four tabs, one live preview. Pick a layout and palette, drop your spot, write the words, choose your finish — every change reflects on the print on the left.
Real Mapbox tiles
Roads, rivers and parks rendered live — pan, rotate, tilt and zoom freely until the framing feels right.
25 themes
From Ivory and Sepia to Cyberpunk and Neon Sunset. Each retunes both map and matte palette.
Drop-on-map icons
Mark "where it happened" with a heart, ring, plane or any of a dozen others. Drag to reposition.
Save for later
Step away and come back. We'll keep your exact map view ready when you are.
Choose your palette & frame.
Orientation, layout shape, composition and one of 25 themes. The Design tab decides the entire mood of the print before you pick the place.
Orientation
Portrait or Landscape. The map repaints instantly to fit the new aspect.
Layout
Full canvas, faded edges, circle vignette, or heart-shaped silhouette — four ways to crop the map.
Composition
Classic, Boxed, Panel, Header or Gradient — five ways to pair the map with your title and details.
Theme
25 themed palettes that retune the map's roads, water and matte tone in one tap.
Twenty-five themes, one tap each.
From timeless tones (Ivory, Midnight, Mono, Sepia) to playful (Bauhaus, Pastel, Champagne) and bold (Cyberpunk, Neon Lime, Neon Sunset, Bordeaux). Tap a tile and the whole map repaints.
Each theme adjusts road colours, water tones and the matte border together so the print always looks coordinated.
Pinpoint the place.
Search any address, then pan, zoom, rotate and tilt the map until the framing matches the memory. Add icons to mark the spot.
Search Location
Type a city, postcode or place name. The map jumps to your match — and you can refine from there.
Zoom Level
Slider that takes you from country-scale down to a single street. Pick the framing that tells your story.
Rotate & Tilt
Bend the map off-axis for a 3D-style angle, or turn the bearing so the relevant road runs straight up the print.
Map Labels
Toggle place names, street names and POI labels independently — keep them all, or strip the map to just geometry.
3D Effects
Optional. Lifts buildings into a 3D model and adds terrain shading for cities where Mapbox provides 3D data.
Pan, rotate, tilt the world.
Left-click and drag pans the map. Right-click and drag tilts and rotates it. Scroll to zoom. Or use the sliders for precise values, with a Reset to flatten everything in one tap.
Tilt + 3D effects are how you get those "looking-down-the-street" prints that feel like a city scene rather than a flat atlas.
Drop a marker on the spot.
Tap an icon to place it on the map, then drag it to nudge into position. Hearts, rings, planes, music notes, mortar boards — twelve everyday icons that let you say "right here" without writing a word.
Multiple icons work too. Mark the venue, the church and the reception in one print.
Write the words. Or draw them.
A title and subtitle live above (or beside) the map, with eight fonts to choose from and an option to coordinate them. Or sign your own title in your own hand.
Title
The headline of the print — "Where It All Began", "Our First Home", a date, anything that names the moment.
Subtitle
A second line beneath. Often a place name, postcode, or a private tagline.
Handwritten Title
Toggle on and a canvas appears. Sign with a finger, mouse or Apple Pencil — your stroke replaces the typed title on the print.
Font
Eight families spanning serif, sans, hand-script and modern display. Tile renders in its own face so you see what you'll get.
Show Coordinates
Toggle to print the map's exact latitude and longitude beneath the subtitle. Off for a cleaner finish, on for the geo-detail.
Pick your finish.
Print, framed or canvas. Five sizes. Optional ribbon, gift wrap, or the bundle. The Finish tab pulls everything together with a live total.
Product Type
Print on 260gsm photo lustre, Framed in Black, White, Natural or Dark Brown, or gallery-wrapped Canvas with hanging kit included.
Frame Colour
Appears once you choose Framed. Pick from Black, White, Natural Wood or Dark Brown — the print on the left swaps instantly.
Size
A4 through to 60×80 cm. Prices update with the product type so the total always matches the choice.
Gift Options
None for clean unboxing, Ribbon Wrap, Gift Wrap, or the full Bundle (+£4.99) — saves about £1 vs. picking ribbon and wrap separately.
