Creating your Sportymap

  1. Do I need an account to make an order?

    You don’t need an account to make an order.
    An account is purely practical for yourself if you plan to make multiple orders over time. It remembers your billing information so you don’t have to fill it in all the next time you place an order.

  2. Can I request an event that isn't listed?

    When you can’t find the course you’re looking for in our editor you can contact us. A short should appear enabling you to request a missing event. please fill this in as good as you can. In most cases we can help you out and create the course poster for you. We’ll add it to the editor so it becomes available for other customers as well.

  3. Can I add a different background to my print?

    In our editor we offer a balanced selection of background options. You can choose one from these. For some events, a special background option is available too.

    You cannot add your own background color, photo or logo to the editor to use in your Sportymap.

  4. Can I personalize the finish time?

    Yes, you can personalize your Sportymaps print with a finish time. You can also add a name. On some cycling and hiking course posters you can also add a date, for example when the Mont Ventoux was climbed. On our triathlon prints you can personalize the name, finish and split times. You can do this easily in our online editor on the specific product pages. Just fill in your data in the corresponding text fields. If you want to change more texts, for example the location, you can use the advanced text options.

  5. How do I create my print?

    You can create your own Sportymaps print easily in our online editor. First choose a material (paper or aluminum). Second find your event using the search field. After you have chosen the event you can use the editor to add a name and finish time, change the color of your print and pick the size that you want. All texts are editable and the editor preview will show you the end result. When you are happy with the result you can add the created print to your Cart and proceed with purchasing it, or create another Sportymap.

  6. I can't find the event I want.

    There are a lot of events around the world. We have a lot in our database, but not all. When you can't find your event in the editor, you are prompted to fill in a short form to request the event. We will try to add the event to our database as soon as possible.
    Another option could be to use the event from another (older) year and change the date using the editor. If the course hasn't changed over the years, this might be the fastest solution.

Searching for the eventname or location in combination with the year is often a good way to search our database.

    If your race is missing from our database you will be shown a form where you can fill in the details of the event you would like to order a print for. We'll do our best to add requests to our website, but we do need good and clear images of the course to work with.

You can search for them using the green 'design your own' buttons on our site and customize your cycling poster in the editor. You can add your name and the (finish) time and also include the date and climbing meters if you like.
    If you can't find your event or the cycling route you want you can contact us using the request form which will pop-up when your search request doesn't have a result. We do need a good image or GPX files from the route to create a design for your cycling print though.
