Geoinfotech is a map design company in Lagos, Abuja, Nigeria. With highly skilled cartographers and Map analysts who carefully create maps from the various spheres of inspired maps across Nigeria.
What is a Map Design:
An aggregate of all the thought processes that cartographers go through during the abstraction phase of the cartographic process is referred to as a Map Design.
It is important to note as a cartographer that including the right design principles leads to a constructive map layout.
At Geoinfotech we make sure this layout is well detailed in a way that our drone pilot operators gain first-hand information about changes in zone boundaries
As you zoom in on the constructive software map provided at Geoinfotech, you could see more detail is added to the map to show the locations of individual power stations. Different map symbols are used to indicate the different types of power plants (nuclear, oil, coal, gas, wind, solar, etc.).
A great Map Design should include:
- A good display with waterproof and tear-resistant material
- A good map should also possess popping matching colors
- It should portray recreational features, roads, and trails for a broad audience
- Clearly labeled topographic features to discern elevation contours
Elements of a Great Map Design
- Title
- Scale Indicator
- Orientation
- Border
- Legend
- Map Credit
- Locator Map
- Top-Notch Graphical design
- Visual Hierarchy
- And most importantly its purpose
Geoinfotech Maps
When creating Maps at Geoinfotech, we look at how best we can make maps, we look at what makes a map great. We also weigh its effectiveness at meeting goals. This map also went above and beyond in detail. Look closely and you can see stairways to overpasses.
Included in our Maps are detailed representations of the different land classifications in the region and of the many features present in these areas including campgrounds and different accesses.
The objective of our map is centered on the target group of users, the way we work with the map, the volume of conveyed information according to the client’s preference. Our Map Designs are available and give cartographic literacy for many possible user categories such as:
- The school category, where students make use of school wall maps and atlases.
- The professional category, where experts from offices use scientific maps with specialized content, including administrative maps, topographic maps, and cadastral maps.
- General public category, where maps are used for tourists, road maps, maps of social gatherings, maps of the training venue, etc.
- Government category where maps are needed to know refugee camps, government building structure
Geoinfotech Maps are very detailed enough to contain travel information. Rivers are represented through the use of differential tapering and the elevation changes on the mountain are clearly depicted through extensive hill shading.
This map is clear and effective as its purpose is easy to interpret and understand. The map shows its data in a very effective and organized way. The map also includes a scale, legend, and title which are key components of a good map.
Learning these map-making basics will help to get you on your way. Once you’ve learned the fundamentals, you can start exploring map-based platforms and complex maps.
