Location Maps (aka Locator Maps) - A quick introduction

Location Maps provide the ultimate visual reference for anyone wishing to know exactly where your property is located, how best to get to it, and what to do and see in the surrounding areas. Detail and Highlights Location maps are available.

These professional custom-made maps can include both your logo or a small image of your property together with your physical address details and contact number.

Detail Location Maps and Highlights Location Maps

In most circumstances Location Maps tend to be most useful when employed as two separate maps, namely a Detail Location Map and a Highlights Location Map. As the names imply the Detail Location Map shows the exact location of your venue or service, down to a suburb and individual street level (approx. 1 to 5 km²). Highlights Location Maps portray the general surrounding area (approx. 10 to 50 km²) and focus on the important features relevant to your property which tend to be further away like airports, city centres, major natural features (Table Mountain for example) and various others. As a duo the Detail and Highlights Location Maps provide the best of both worlds.

The excerpts below are from "standard" Detail and Highlights Location Maps and will give you a good idea of the look, detail level and content of the maps. By "standard" we mean that if you order your maps without any specific design instructions (as most people tend to do) then you can expect your maps to look similar to these two. Due to size constraints the full size maps could not be displayed here so please refer to the Detail Location Map Gallery or the Highlights Location Map Gallery.

Location Map Coverage

Currently both Detail and Highlights Locator Maps are available for any location throughout southern Africa with the main focus on the major and minor metropolitan areas. Highlights Locator Maps can be supplied for any destination on the planet.

The second issue is choosing what coverage is appropriate for both your Detail and Highlights Locator Maps. Happily if you have no clue then leave these fields blank when ordering your maps and we will make certain recommendations based on where you are located.

Ordering, proofing and finalising your Custom Digital Locator Maps Order

The dedicated Location Maps Order Form will guide you through the easy step-by-step process of ordering your maps. If you want us to include your logo or an image of your property on your maps (as per the samples above) you will need to get these files to us by emailing them to info@CustomDigitalMaps.com. Please remember to keep the file sizes small (we recommend you send a GIF file for logo's/graphics and JPG (JPEG) files for images/photos). Once your maps are ready they will be sent to you for comments, suggestions and to check the accuracy of the streets around you (on the Detail Map) and the exact location of your property. We will do our best to add or change whatever you feel is necessary and the final maps will be emailed to you in web-optimised ready-to-use GIF file Format.
