The Map Guy
I started this journey of custom mapping long ago. Now it's turned into an obsession.
Meet The Map Guy
Hi, I’m Matt Liapis—aka The Map Guy. I’ve spent the last 25+ years obsessively crafting the best maps available to the public. Not because someone asked me to—but because the maps out there weren’t good enough.
Why I Do It
Maps are a thing I love. Translating a project from beginning conversations and delivering something that truly excites you is what drives me.
Whether you’re a skier/boarder, HOA, Developer, Real Estate Professional, or just a map nerd that wants a better map for their uses—I build these maps for you.
Want Your Project Mapped?
I take requests. If your favorite place isn’t covered—or you want a custom version—reach out. I’ll make it happen.
