  • Location and map area: Choose where you first met and show the surrounding streets along with the exact spot. If it’s by the water, keep the shoreline in view as a reference.
  • Heart marker: Place the heart right where you met—at a café, a square, or a spot along the shore. Adjust its position to match your chosen map area.
  • Text lines: Enter your city name and country at the top. Use the coordinates line for the marked location. Add a date or a brief personal dedication in the short text line beside it. Keep it concise so it fits next to the coordinates.

Melanie: Perfect Gift
I was looking for a gift for a colleague who is retiring. What could be better than a cartographic memory of the place she has visited for over 30 years?
At Rapidmap, I found not only a large selection of different layouts. The individual settings that I was able to make myself made the gift perfect.
Delivery and quality were perfect and fast.
Thank you very much for that.

One short phrase, a whole story

“wo alles begann” fits the café where you met the love of your life just as well as the start of a friendship. Want to make it your own? Keep your words short and personal:

  • “where we became us”
  • “a chance encounter. our beginning.”
  • “since that one evening”
  • “your smile, this place”
  • “back to our beginning”

Even a simple dedication like “for you, since 2019” or “with you since August 12, 2021” connects the place to your memory.

Give your memory a place

Choose the city where you first met and place the heart right at the spot: outside the movie theater, by the harbor, or on an unassuming street corner. With the right coordinates, a city name becomes your own story.

Adjust the map view: close enough to recognize familiar streets, or wider to include the coastline and neighborhoods. An orange heart adds warmth; a muted rust red feels more understated. For a quieter look, leave out the extra text and let the marked spot speak for itself.

Something for Every Occasion...

For Your Anniversary or Valentine’s Day: Give your partner a reminder of where your story began with a map of the place you first met. Mark the spot and add the date as text if you like. Present it over dinner, then give it a home in your living room.

For a Wedding: Choose the city where your friends met and mark their special spot as a wedding gift. You can also present the map together with friends at the reception—a reminder of where the couple’s story began, ready for their home.

For Friends and Family: For your best friend’s birthday, choose the city where your friendship began. For your parents’ wedding anniversary, capture the place they first met—a personal keepsake for the hallway or reading nook.

For a New Home: For your own place, choose the location where a new chapter of your life began. Give your story a lasting place on your wall.
