MapWheel is a new product from Waypoint Ventures, a Sydney based start-up founded by Russell Bolden and Jesse Little, which offers the means to create a customised ‘toposcope‘ plaque showing the exact direction and distance to treasured locations around the world relative to your specified ‘home’ location.
As Russell explains, the online MapWheel generator enables you create “a tangible connection to special people and places in your world. MapWheels are intended to be personal, sentimental and fun.”
The process involves you assigning a ‘home’ location and then building up a series of uniquely personal locations around the world. The online generator offers you the chance to customise the material used for the final product, the font, messages and pattern design. As you build it, it gives you a preview of the final rendering.
Prices begin at $AUD 88 and they deliver from their Sydney base to many international destinations. Give it a go!
