Custom Maps, Charts, Graphs and Diagrams

What is a Map? Maps are the process of geometrically converting information that is essentially spherical onto a plane, e.g., a flat piece of paper or computer screen. Because of this conversion there can be distortions. The elimination or reinterpretation of those distortions are accomplished through different mathematical projections.	The maps presented in this gallery show different color schemes to offer the viewer a variety of perspectives concerning map colors. If you would like to learn more about mapping and how map projections are calculated, go to these excellent explanations at 3dSoftware.com. Though we only deal with 7 standard projections, you can also learn about other types of projections also at 3dSoftware.com
Map Types and Global Map Pricing We offer the eight major projection families which can be customized to your special graphic needs. Pricing below is for Global Maps (all country names, oceans and continents—which is a lot of work) Pricing matrix as follows:

Orthographic Map A pictorial perspective map, with no distortion—just like viewing the earth from space. We can generate any view on the globe within a resolution of 30 miles. Pricing Maps Continents and Grid for Web: $200 Continents and Grid for Print: $400 Continents, Countries, and Grid for Web: $400 Continents, Countries, and Grid for Print: $800 Overlays Timezones: $250 (web), $500 (print) 1-50 datapoints, longitude and latitude provided: $10 ea. 51-100 datapoints, longitude and latitude provided: $7 ea. 101+ datapoints, longitude and latitude provided: $5 ea. note: datapoints can be company offices, or anything else that comes to mind. Longitude and Latitude coordinates must be provided, or else there is in addtional $2 surcharge per datapoint. No price difference between web and print.

Azimuthal Equidistant Projection At smaller scales this type of projection is used by the military, becase of the accuracy in measuring distances between objectives.

Mercator Projection An equal area projection. A school room favorite. The primary visual problem with this projection is enormous distorition at the poles due to the fact that the north and south poles are parallel to infinity.

Millers Cylindrical Projection Less distortion than the Mercator at the poles. Neither equal area nor conformal. Used in most United States atlases. This is one of the most familiar projections.
