There are many tutorials online about how to grab a chunk of Google Maps data and turn it into a laser-etchable image. I used the one below, which was very thorough and uses an online app called Snazzymaps, which has a handy set of image optimization tools to turn any Google map data into laser-ready art. After that, it was a simple matter of creating a hex-shaped template (you can make it a circle, square or whatever you like) and adding the image.
