We Make Custom Maps
To call attention to type labels on your map, consider placing them in a custom call-out box.
But not just any box will do. Place labels in boxes painted with Adobe Illustrator’s visual effects to help them stand out, or above, other details on the map.
For this economic development map, we created a call-out box graphic style that automatically sized itself to the height and width of each text label.
Chambers of Commerce can create and publish their own maps. They have the sales staff, artists, and printers among their members. They just need a mapmaker. That’s where we fit in.
Your chamber of commerce can publish its own map and enjoy the benefits of controlling the content, timing, and profits while better serving your membership.
Several of our clients have done just that. They assessed their membership and staff and realized they have the most important ingredients needed to publish a map. Those ingredients are:
• someone who can sell advertising
• a graphic artist to create the layout and add text, images and ads to it
• a printing company
• a mapmaker
Parks and recreation maps are successful when they attract new and returning visitors. Our custom maps are designed to help park visitors make the most of their recreation.
The Frisco Parks and Recreation Department in Frisco, Texas, contacted us about producing a system map showing their many resources. This public map included community, neighborhood, and special-use parks, facilities, and trails and greenways. The map was built from current geographic (GIS) data procured from the city; this guaranteed that city street and feature information was current and accurate.
The map was published as a two-sided brochure. The other side included photographs and information about parks, trails, and facilities.For price and design information for your parks, please contact us.
Maps for resorts must be colorful, clear, and inviting. The resort map is a key ingredient in hospitality. We make different styles of resort maps. Each map is customized to the resort.
Resorts, like city parks and recreation areas, compress a lot of activity into a small geographic area. While their areas are usually homogenous, resorts offer activities and recreation resources that are anything but uniform.

Recently, I upgraded MacOS on a work computer without first verifying compatibility with Avenza MAPublisher. Predictably, when the update finished, I was greeted with an error message and a failure to load MAPublisher.
