Interactive maps designed for web use, internal services
or presentations, are a specialised field of mapping. With
our years of cartographic experience and our commitment to
utilising the latest technology, Country Cartographics are
the right people to trust to deliver what you need from this
exciting new field.
This simple digital map was created
for Tattersall Funeral Care in Geelong.
Simple, zooming maps such as this are great tools
to show visitors to your website how to find your premises.
This interactive presentation was developed
for property developers CB Richard Ellis in early 2004.
It is designed as a standalone application for CB Richard
Ellis to use in presentations to clients.
The principle is to show data related to rental
availability, pricing and return in different areas
of each major city of Australia and New Zealand.
Starting off with a basic map of the region, users
click to gain access to each individual city and
the data for each region in that city.
In addition to this, the data is used to generate
graphs that make it easy to compare rental returns
across the country.
Contact information for CB Richard Ellis, property
rental guidelines and other material was also presented.
All the data displayed in this application is stored
in an external text file, making it easy for the
client (CB Richard Ellis) to update the data as time
goes on, without the need for special software or
programming skills.
This application was created using Macromedia Flash
MX.
The Allen Bradley
Distributors Group of Australia commissioned us to
produce an online interactive showing the regions that
each distributor controls.
This site is designed to show prospective buyers
of Allen Bradley merchandise who their local supplier
is.
Visitors to the site scroll over the regions to
see the boundary lines and name of the distributor.
A click will bring up the distributor's information
in a new window.
This project comprises four maps, each zooming to
better levels of detail in crowded regions.
We completed this project in early 2004, utilising
the technologies of Macromedia Flash for the interactive
map and Dreamweaver for the site design.
Interactive maps make an effective
sales and presentation tool.
Here at Country
Cartographics we produce high-quality interactive maps for
companies like CB Richard Ellis and the Allen Bradley Distributors
of Australia.
With people trained and experienced in
cartography and multimedia, this partnership creates interactive
maps like you've never seen before!
Each map can display what you want, have
areas that zoom and pan, move from country to state to city
maps and provide statistics or other information when areas
or links are clicked. Statistics can produce graphs or tables
on the fly and can be read from external data files for easy
updating. Smooth animations and funky design gives you the
edge.
Because they are made with Macromedia Flash
our interactive maps are cross-platform compatible and can
be placed within a website or used as a standalone application
to impress clients.
The process
First, we get an idea from you what will
need to be shown on the maps, the details etc required and
how many different maps will be needed throughout the application.
The base maps are created with the precision
of AutoCAD by a senior cartographer at Country Cratographics.
These tailor-made maps are then imported into Macromedia
Flash, where interactivity is applied, and statistics or
any other information as required.
The entire process is designed to make
a custom application specifically for the requirements of
each individual client. Your needs and wishes are paramount
at every step.
The end product
The result is a Flash-based interactive
map, as simple or as complex as you require. From a simple
zooming location map on your website to a fully interactive,
standalone application used to present sales figures to prospective
clients, we can provide what you need.
Your company's graphic design is also taken
into consideration, so that the interactive map will seamlessly
match the rest of your marketing tools.
Statistical data like sales or rental figures
can be read from external data files and integrated to produce
tables or graphs. Updating the information in our maps is
as easy as editing a text file.
