Bespoke mapping services

Example detail from a city map

Can’t find the right map base?

We can create map artwork for any part of the UK as a PDF or other format tailored to your specifications. We may also be able to help map places outside the UK depending on the availability of suitable GIS data.

Please note, we do not offer print services, but we can scale your map artwork for printing at a specific size.

See examples of bespoke static maps

Do you need help to edit a map base?

Our downloadable vector art maps are easy for designers to edit using Adobe Illustrator. Even beginners can make simple colour and text changes. (See how to customize.)

However, if you have never edited vector artwork before, or if your needs are complex, you might prefer to commission us to help.

Have you considered a dynamic online map?

We are especially interested in building bespoke interactive, dynamic online maps with data feeds for clients. We have created a system whereby map colours and captions can be controlled simply by editing an online spreadsheet.

We build interactive maps using Mapbox, Datawrapper, Google Maps and other 3rd-party systems at the forefront of mapping technology.

Typical fees and licensing for bespoke static artwork maps

We use specialist mapping software to create static artwork maps, then export them as normal artwork files tailored for your needs – e.g. PDF / JPEG / PNG / SVG etc. Most jobs of this type come in around £200 to £500+vat per map. Maproom’s standard royalty free terms apply.

Typical fees and hosting for bespoke interactive online maps

Interactive online maps are not artwork files but dynamic viewports of data feeds. A typical one-off setup cost is £1,500 to £3,000+vat for programming and data formatting time, plus £250+vat annual pass for Maproom’s Dynamic Mapping Suite. It is often possible for the client to embed this type of map on their own website if wanted. Ultra-high traffic over 50,000 map loads per month will generate an extra cost based on $5 per 1,000 loads. Once set up, the client can usually update their own data at any time without incurring extra fees, with their edits feeding immediately to the map.

Bespoke fees are usually invoiced 50% up-front; 50% on delivery.

Please select all that apply. Some selections open further questions below.
Poster or other printed format – what size?(Required)
We do not offer printing services, but we can create bespoke map artwork optimised for printing at a specific size. Knowing the print size in advance ensures legibility of labels on the map. If not an A format, please give width and height in mm, cm or metres as accurately as possible. The map will be supplied as an Illustrator PDF suitable for high-resolution professional printing.

If we have an existing map base that can be adapted, the job is cheaper!
It speeds up the quotation process if you can send us something showing the area and/or style of map you want. Ways you could do this include making a screenshot of the area you want from Google Maps and uploading the file to us. Or even hand-draw a rough map, photograph it from a smartphone and upload the file here.
