Looking for a Custom Map Designer? Here's Where to Start

When planning a new trail, launching a tourism campaign, or opening a resort, a custom map can be one of the most important tools you create.
But where do you start if you’ve never designed a map before?

At PocketMaps, we make it simple. We specialize in designing custom maps for parks, cities, resorts, events, and tourism boards — and we handle everything from concept to final print.

What Makes a Great Custom Map?

A great map isn't just about showing directions. It's about making the experience easier, welcoming, and more memorable for your visitors.
The best custom maps are:

Easy to read and navigate

Beautifully designed to fit your brand

Built to work in real-world use, whether folded, mounted, or displayed digitally

When you're looking for a map designer, make sure you choose someone who understands both design and functionality, not just one or the other.

What Kind of Map Do You Need?

We design a wide range of maps, including:

Trail and park maps

City and downtown visitor maps

Resort and hotel property maps

Bike trail and event route maps

Fold-out and rack card-size maps for displays

No matter the size or format, we can help bring your destination to life.
