A quick introduction to Specialised Maps

In the case of custom digital maps the term 'Specialised' most commonly refers to the content (or topic) of a map.

Specialised map topics can include things like tour information, relief or topography, geological and mineral resources, climate, vegetation zones, and any numbers of other special interest topics.

Some suggested uses for Specialised Maps:

> Technical Map Conversions into web (or print) and user friendly versions
> Route Maps for tour operators showing the route taken by any itinerary over any area. Distinguish between travel methods!
> Relief Maps to show the lie of the land together with more traditional map elements (limited to large scale maps only)
> Property Maps of anything from your private game reserve, to your downtown supermarket floor layout
> Tourist Information Maps with detailed tourist and/or tourism industry related information
> Specialised Topic Maps the list is infinite!

POA

Do Specialised Maps require specialised data?

Some do, some don't. It all depends on the topic. Most often you simply supply us with a list of what it is you need included and we then insert this information onto a custom made map using various methods such as icons, info boxes, and various other graphic elements. A 'map key' explaining what is what on the map is sometimes required.

Another example is the many software programs throughout various industries and fields (resource exploration, mining, construction, architecture, research etc) which produce very technical maps often unsuitable for public consumption. Converting technical maps and making them both web (or print) and user friendly is another obvious use for specialised maps.
