#142What about overseas customers and shipping options? Could it be printed in Europe or a PDF be had instead somehow.
We are shipping to Europe for a fee. See booking page
Honestly, shipping to Europe is prohibitive (at least for me) right now. I'd happily pay for a super HD pdf to print at my local print shop !

#143Very nice! I downloaded the web (png) version for my brother's little guest house outside US. I'd love to be able to
1. Change/remove various texts on the poster (e.g., even if we have no rules, it still adds 'House Rules').
2. Download a bigger png file for a little charge to print locally (to avoid international shipping charges).
But this is nice as it is!

#144First, very cool! It'd be tempting to get something like this even if I'm not an AirBNB host. I'm sure one could find loads of strange visual artifacts given this covers the whole world(?), but here's one: Some of the map styles fail to render sections of the Chicago River and North Branch Channel. See 5500 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60625 as an example. Maybe it's an issue that affects waterways in general.
Can you try again? I tried this address and it worked fine for me.
Yep issue persists. Only the orange and blue style correctly renders the waterway fully. The others omit a portion of it. In that section I believe there is a park on either side so perhaps that's got something to do with it.
I'll share a screen shot later.

#145Is this from Google Maps or somewhere else? How do you handle the copyrights?
The footer mentions OpenStreetMap.
Generated PNG does not mention OpenStreetMap. It seems that it violates OpenStreetMap requirements laid in http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright/en:
"How to credit OpenStreetMap
We require that you use the credit “© OpenStreetMap contributors”."

#146You are violating licenses. "© Mapbox © OpenStreetMap © Leaflet" is not appropriate. Including a copyright mark for Leaflet suggests that you have no idea why, so make sure you really understand whose data and art you use and how you are allowed to do so.

#147Might be missing something, but I'm fairly certain that Mapbox requires you to include attribution here. They also prohibit printing for commercial purposes, although that's lifted for enterprise plans, which you might have.
This is using Mapbox vector tiles with a style custom designed by the ellotand, right? Does Mapbox really prohibit using a product created that way on their platform and can they?
Re: Show HN: Self-generated custom art for your home or Airbnb
#148Just wondering what sort of Mapbox account you're using for this? I previously enquired about doing something similar with Mapbox, and was told if you intend to use the images commercially for printing you'd be capped at 2,000 prints and it'd cost you up to $5k annually.
Just use https://openmaptiles.org/ for a fraction of the cost (512USD) and no restrictions on how you use them commercially.

I don't know what the law is, but in principle at least, the selection of the data to include in the tiles (in general and for specific scales) and processing like generalization are both "cartography" at least as much as they are "database queries".

#150Nice, simple, functional. Does a single job and does it well.
I would second the suggestion for some extra layout options (particularly a landscape variant which would work much better for some areas), though take care not to go OTT or you'll complicate the nice simple interface and put off more users than you help with the changes. Perhaps have one or two extra options (the most significant ones like landscape/portrait) and hide others being an "advanced options" click. That way most people get the simple interface but those that want to be more fussy are catered for too. Though as always don't try to please everyone, the really fussy users will never be entirely happy and you are better off recommending that they produce their own posters by hand!
Also, do look into the potential licensing issues mentioned by anc84. Some effort here and now ensuring that you are compliant (either because you just are or by negotiating different use rights with these or alternate services) may save you a lot of hassle and expense later down the line.
