Bespoke mapping services

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 mapping

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. Our standard fee is £60+vat per hour.

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 and other 3rd-party systems at the forefront of mapping technology.

Dynamic online maps are not only more functional but often cheaper to create than bespoke printed maps.
