Road, gravel and MTB
Gran fondos, marathons, stage races, brevets, tours, bikepacking routes and personal distance goals.
Any route, shaped by its terrain
Turn your GPX file into a relief map.
A race, a tour, a first summit, an ultra, an Everesting attempt or a route only your group knows. Send the track and we will review how it can become a physical map.

Route plus landscape
The line matters because of the ground beneath it.
A GPX track shows where you travelled. A Finisher Map adds the landscape that made the route memorable. Elevation data creates the physical relief, while the recorded line follows the same climbs, valleys, ridges and coastlines you crossed.
The map can be built around one continuous course, a multi-stage event, a loop, an out-and-back route or several connected disciplines. Text can identify the event, date, distance, climbing, rider, team, result or a short dedication.
You do not need a prepared production model. The original GPX file, a public route link or an official event page is enough for the first feasibility review.
What can become a map
Not only races. Any route with a story.
The best subject is not necessarily the most famous event. It is the route that means something to the person receiving the map.
Trail races and ultras
Mountain courses, ridge traverses, city marathons and long routes where terrain explains the effort.
Three-discipline events
Swim, bike and run courses organised into one composition with the event and result details.
Summits and long paths
First peaks, hut-to-hut journeys, long-distance trails, pilgrim routes and mountaineering objectives.
Rallies and touring routes
Road trips, off-road events, rally stages and circuit layouts that are connected to a real place.
One route, one memory
A proposal ride, a family tour, a memorial route or a challenge invented with friends can be just as meaningful.
How it works
You bring the route. We shape the context.
Every commission begins with a short review. The route length, terrain area and desired display size determine the right level of detail.
Share the source
Email the GPX file, public route link or event and year. If the route has several stages or disciplines, label them clearly.
Define the story
Choose the information that belongs on the piece: name, team, date, distance, climbing, time, result, place or personal message.
Choose the format
We agree on orientation, approximate size, colour direction and whether the route should be one piece, several stages or a modular set.
Approve the proposal
You receive a clear scope and price before production. Event and club orders can begin with one physical sample.
Production and delivery
The map is produced and checked in Zagreb, then prepared for delivery in Croatia or the EU.
What to send
A clean GPS recording gives the best start.
Use the original GPX export when possible. A screenshot is useful for explaining the idea, but it does not contain the coordinates needed to place the route accurately over terrain.
For an event route, include the exact year. Courses change, sometimes significantly, and the value of a finisher map depends on representing the route you actually completed.
- Original GPX file or route URL
- Event name and exact year
- Name, team and result text
- Preferred size or wall location
- Delivery country and deadline
- Quantity for club or event orders
Custom map FAQ
Before sending a GPX file
Files can be attached directly to an email at info@bearhill.eu.
Can every GPX route become a map?
Most routes can be reviewed, but the final result depends on distance, geographic area, terrain detail and desired size. Very long routes may need simplification, a larger format or several connected pieces.
What if I only have a Strava, Komoot or Garmin link?
Send the public link for an initial review. The original GPX export is still the best source when it is available.
Can you include several days or stages?
Yes. A multi-day route can use separate lines on one landscape or several modular pieces. The better option depends on distance and geography.
How much does a custom map cost?
Custom pricing depends on map size, terrain area, route complexity, personalisation, quantity and finishing requirements. Send the route and expected size for a quote. Ready-made maps in the current 4Islands collection start at €25.
Can I order one map?
Yes. Individual personal maps, club batches and event editions are all possible. There is no need to begin with a large quantity.
