Your route on a real map
Cairn plots your line on an actual map basemap, so the poster shows the streets, trails, and terrain your GPS tracked. Not an abstract shape on a coloured background.
From the finish line to your wall, in three moves.
No app to learn, no measuring, no typing your stats. The route does the talking.

We print and ship
Pressed on museum-grade paper with archival inks, framed if you like, sent to your door.
The route is the art
The line you drew, over the ground you covered.
Your GPS line runs bright across a real map of the place you moved through, restyled into our warm terrain look so the route stays the hero. Deep pine for the land, chalk for the paper, ember for the path.
Below it sits the elevation you climbed and the stats that made the day yours: distance, moving time, pace, date. Nothing borrowed, nothing faked. The proof is the picture.
Pan and zoom it. Scroll and the same line restyles.
Real routes, real maps, six curated styles
A GPX file and a few minutes is all it takes
GPX is the universal language of GPS sport. Every serious device and platform speaks it: Garmin watches, Wahoo computers, Suunto, Coros, Apple Watch workouts exported via the Health app, routes planned in Komoot, and activities saved in Strava. Whatever you used to record the effort, the GPX export is the same clean file format, and Cairn reads it in seconds.
Once you drop the file, the creator reads the track coordinates and draws your line over a real Mapbox basemap. Streets, trails, and contours stay in the picture because that context is what gives the print meaning. The distance, total elevation gain, and moving time sit beneath the map, pulled directly from the file so nothing needs retyping. You pick the map style, adjust the label, and choose your size and finish.
Prints are pressed on museum-grade matte paper with archival pigment inks and ship flat in a protective tube. Add the Framed Edition and your poster arrives in a solid wood frame with an acid-free mat, ready to hang. The same GPX can also print on a tee for $42, a hoodie for $72, or a mug for $24 if you want the whole range.

The finish that earned a frame.
Trained eighteen months for Boston and the medal lives in a drawer. The print lives over my desk. I see every turn of the course before every long run.
Gave my dad his first century ride for his sixtieth. He stood in the kitchen tracing the route across the valley for my mom. That was the gift.
The swim across the lake felt like it happened to someone else until it was on the wall, the whole shoreline laid out. Now it's the first thing guests ask about.
Made to outlast the memory.
We print on heavyweight museum-grade matte paper with archival pigment inks, the kind that hold their depth for decades without fading. Framed editions come in solid wood with an acid-free mat, ready to hang out of the box. Every order is made to order and shipped protected, never rolled loose in a tube.

Questions, answered.
What devices can I use to create a GPX poster?+
Any device or app that exports a GPX file works with Cairn: Garmin, Coros, Suunto, Apple Watch (via the Health export or third-party apps), Wahoo, Komoot, and Strava, among others. If you recorded a GPS track and can get a .gpx file off it, you can make a poster from it.
How do I get my GPX file?+
On Garmin Connect, go to the activity and choose Export Original. On Strava, open the activity, tap the three dots, and select Export GPX. On Komoot, open a tour and use the download option. Apple Watch and Wahoo users can use apps such as WorkOutDoors or the device companion app to export GPX from saved activities.
Do I need to create an account?+
No. You upload your GPX file, design your poster, and check out without creating an account. Your file is used only to generate your print and is never published or sold.
What does a GPX route print cost?+
The Small size is $45, Medium is $65, and Large is $95. If you want the Framed Edition, prices range from $95 to $215 depending on size. All prices are shown before you add anything to your cart.
Can I print any type of GPX track, not just running?+
Yes. Runs, rides, hikes, walks, ski tours, open-water swims, kayak routes: any GPS track stored in a GPX file can be mapped and printed. The creator handles the coordinate data the same way regardless of sport type.
