Why Custom Maps?
While digital maps can be great for navigating, maps often need to show a larger area for context than can be effectively shown on the tiny screen of a handheld device. Zooming out is an option, but it comes at the cost of losing smaller details. For many – like cyclists, hikers and tourists – those small details are key to continuing their journey.
Our custom maps provide the details people need to plan routes and to reach their destinations conveniently and with confidence. In building your custom map we bridge the gap between data, design and understanding of the process. By communicating in clear and simple terms we help you create a map that you’ll be proud of, and eager to share.
Maps for Municipalities
Custom maps help highlight the hard work that municipalities put into development and planning, and they encourage community members to get out, get active, and become more involved.
Maps for Authors & Publishers
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a map is worth a thousand more. Help your readers understand and envision location in magazine and academic articles, reference books and fiction.
Maps for Travel Guides & Tourism
Maps and guides are a great way to help tourists find your events and attractions and they create excellent advertising opportunities for local businesses.
Maps for Businesses & Associations
Custom maps help your businesses stand out from your competitors. Use one to highlight your location along with nearby attractions of particular interest to your customers.
