Assessing a Good Map Publisher or Map Agency

Licensing: You may want to check if the agencies' work is copyright protected. A license is written permission to make unlimited reproductions like scans, prints, or versions onto the internet.

Variety of products: Large map publishers usually have a number of products to cater to your needs.

Industry experience:Check to see which industries have the shortlisted firms worked with before. Can they add value to your business?

Cost efficiencies: Map publishing costs are dependent on availability, and accuracy of information. If the information is recent and accurate the cost of publishing need not accommodate the cost of upgrades. Complete information would include information regarding roads, biking channels and upcoming projects.

Qualifications: Cartography is a science and requires expertise to execute. You may want to assess the qualifications of the people in the map agency.

Insurance: Check to see if the work of the agency is insured to protect against fraud.

Scales: One more thing to assess or discuss with a potential client is the scale at which the map would be drawn. This should agree with your objectives and the industry that you belong to.
