A fantastic new development, launched last week, for our custom made maps now allows customers to add their favourite image to the front cover of their personalised map. You can now put yourself on the cover of your very own map, just as our colleague, Paul, has here!

We’ve told regular blog readers about our custom made maps before, but this latest development is bound to be popular and launches just in time for Christmas!

What a great present idea (even if we do say so ourselves!). Last ordering date (for postal delivery) is 19 December, so you’ve got plenty of time to get your order in!

Based on the popular OS Explorer Map and OS Landranger Maps, custom made maps give the customer the chance to create a bespoke map centred on any chosen location. Since its launch in Spring 2012, thousands of personalised custom made maps have been created centred on home addresses, favourite walks, holiday destinations and other chosen locations across Great Britain.

Customers have been able to choose their own title, such as ‘My New Home’, and unique subtitle since the launch in Spring this year and were previously able to select an image from a database of pictures to have on the cover.  However, this latest advance gives customers the option to create an extremely  personal map by uploading any image they wish to feature on the map cover. For example they could upload a picture of their house, school photograph, favourite orange tree or even, if it is their dog walking route, a picture of their dog.

So what image would you put on your personalised map and why?
