FAQ
How long
will it take to produce a map?
If the spatial data is available
a map can be produced in less
than a day. Acquiring spatial
data can delay the process. We
can suggest strategies to
expedite the process.
What data
can be plotted on a map?
Any data that is in a
spreadsheet or database format
can be plotted, a minimum of one
column is required that can
identify the spatial attributes
of the data; e.g. and address,
town, district etc.
What
format must the data be in?
Preferably the data must be in a
spreadsheet(Excel) or database
formats such as Access, SQL or
Oracle.
What sizes
of maps can be produced?
The most common sizes runs from
A4 to A0 for printing purposes.
Maps for digital use such as
websites and projectors can be
supplied. When designing the map
the intended size must be known;
a A0 printed map can contain a
lot more detail than a map
produced to show on a projector.
How much
information can be showed on one
map?
A map must be able to
communicate information in a
clear uncluttered way. Sometimes
maps contain to much information
and the intended message is
lost. Rather than cramming to
much info onto one map is to
have the same base map with
different themes for different
data types.
Can the
maps be used in publications and
presentations?
Yes the maps can be produced for
a wide variety of applications,
and you have unlimited use of
the maps. The only requirement
that we have is to leave our
company name and logo in place.
In what
format do you supply maps?
Maps can be supplied in printer
format from A4 to A0 laminated
or plain. Electronically the
popular formats are PDF, Jpeg or
PNG.
How much
will it cost?
The greatest expense is normally
data collection and
verification. It is best if we
discuss your requirements and
quote in detail. We have also a
retainer option for a fixed
monthly fee that makes budgeting
and cost controlling a lot
easier.
