Mapz - Turn any place into PCB circuit board art

Mapz transforms any Google Maps location into beautiful PCB (printed circuit board) artwork. Roads become copper traces. Buildings become electronic components. Intersections become solder pads. Whether it's the street you grew up on, the city where you fell in love, or the campus where it all started — Mapz turns the places that matter into art you'll actually want to hang up.

Last week, I was playing around with my soldering kit and quickly wondered how silly (read cute) generating PCB silkscreens via an app would look like. And what if it's actually for etching a memory of a location? Like your favourite cafe, your first home, friends' hangout spot? So built Mapz—turn any place into PCB silkscreen art. Put in your Google Maps link, the place becomes your main IC in the board, and the landscape being etched as traces. And add a few components for vibes. Most satisfying + fun project I should say! Try it. :)
