About this route in 3D

Open the designer and the real Old Salt Route becomes a solid topographic model: the route rides on top of true elevation terrain, surrounding peaks and valleys included, with automatic place labels for the towns and landmarks along the way.

Everything is editable. Swap in your own dates, rename the labels, change the base shape, or replace the route entirely with the trip YOU took. The model you see is the model you get, as a watertight file ready for any 3D printer, or as a finished print made by us.

How it works

Common questions

Is this the real terrain of the Old Salt Route?
Yes. The 3D model is built from real elevation data, so every climb, ridge and valley along the Old Salt Route appears at true relative height.
Can I use my own route instead?
Yes. The designer accepts your Google Timeline export, geo-tagged photos, or a route you draw by hand. The Old Salt Route is just the starting point.
How do I get the finished model?
Two ways: download a printable STL or GLB file for your own 3D printer, or order a finished print and we make it and ship it. We deliver to 50 countries, with optional wood frame and LED base.
Can I download the Old Salt Route as an STL file for my own 3D printer?
Yes. The printable STL (or GLB) file of the Old Salt Route costs $10, one token, and is watertight and ready to slice. You can also change the size, base shape and labels before you export it.
