What is MapMyTrails?
MapMyTrails prints every activity you've logged in one area as a heatmap poster. Connect Strava (or upload files), choose a city or a patch of trails, pick a style, size and material, and it's printed and posted to you. The streets and trails you use most come out brighter and thicker.
It's a small family business in Gothenburg, Sweden, with prices set in Swedish kronor. A partner lab close to the delivery address prints each poster, covering more than 30 countries.
Key Features
Strava or files
Strava syncs in the background, with a "Sync from Strava" button for new activities. Without Strava, upload FIT, GPX or TCX files, or a whole Garmin export as a ZIP, unpacked in your browser before upload; that's the route for Garmin, Apple Health, Suunto, Coros or Polar workouts, and it needs no account.
Filters and framing
Filter by sport and date range, switch single activities on or off, then set the map area.
Ten styles, six as hexagons
Ten map looks (Watercolor, B&W, Clay, Terrain, Positron, Japanese Ink, Linen, Arctic, Blueprint and Dark Matter), six of which also come as a hexagon-grid heatmap. You also choose heatmap colours, line weights and a text panel with a headline, subtitle, stats (total distance, elevation gain, number of activities) and dates.
Sizes, materials and prices

Frames are FSC-certified solid wood in black, white, natural and dark wood, the wood ones at the top of each range. The canvas comes stretched on a wooden frame and the aluminium is brushed. A "See in room" view shows the poster on a sample wall. Shipping is extra, depends on country, size and material, and is shown at checkout. A hi-res digital file is a 50 kr add-on to a print. A header menu switches prices between kronor, euros and US dollars at the current exchange rate.
Gift cards
A single-use coupon for a print with shipping included: 449 kr for a 25x25 cm unframed print, 699 kr for an unframed 50x70 cm poster, 1,499 kr for a 70x100 cm poster in a wood frame, or a custom amount.
Who It's For
- People who want the poster made and delivered, frame included. Heatmapster is the free, download-only alternative
- Anyone with years of activities around one city or trail network, since the heatmap rewards repetition
- People who don't use Strava, through file upload
Worth Knowing
Every order is reviewed by hand before printing, which can add up to 24 hours. The terms put production at one to three business days after that, then tracked shipping; the FAQ says printing takes 24 to 48 hours and delivery three to seven business days. Checkout delivery estimates are indicative, not guaranteed. Because each poster is made to order, the 14-day EU right of withdrawal doesn't apply once production starts. Damaged or defective prints are reprinted or refunded if you report them within 14 days of delivery. Customs outside the EU are on you.
The privacy policy is dated September 25, 2026. Your tracks are kept while the account is active, and order records for up to seven years under Swedish accounting law. The print partner, Gelato, gets your name, address and the finished poster image, not your activities.
What does it access on Strava?
Read access to your profile and your activities, including private ones (the Strava scopes read and activity:read_all), and no permission to write anything. That covers your athlete ID, name and avatar, activity summaries (title, sport, date, distance, time, elevation) and the GPS streams it draws from; heart rate and power aren't accessed. Activity data isn't sold, shared with advertisers or used to train AI models. You can delete single activities or the whole account from your profile, which removes the Strava tokens, profile and tracks from its active databases.
Will the poster look sharper than the preview?
Yes. The on-screen map is tuned for speed, especially on phones, while the print and the digital file are rendered at 300 DPI.
