Im pretty new to city strides but I came up with an idea for something I’d like to make once I’m complete my city. It would be cool to be able to make a poster of all of my runs in the city without seeing the map behind it (just the blue lines of the runs over a black background). To do this I’d need to be able to get a picture of just my runs and the city outline. Is this something that’s already doable and I haven’t figured this out?

I’ve already built a [LifeMap Poster](https://citystrides.com/posters/new) creator (also accessible from the top left menu and the footer).
Since it generates an image with a blank background, you’d have to go with the “Download Only” option and print it yourself on black paper. I currently only offer white paper prints.

That’s awesome! That sounds like exactly what I’m looking for. Great work
