FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Can I have the
ground location for the middle of my BIG wall map anywhere I want?
A: Yes, you can center your map just about anywhere in the USA you
want.
Q: How current are
the dates that the aerial images were shot?
A: The images are the most current available from the original source
data. We update our archive as fresh imagery becomes available.
Generally, dates will vary from 2009 to as much as 3 years back.
For more specific dates over your target area, contact us.
Q: Can I choose the
level of detail that I want to see on my BIG Aerial Map?
A: Yes. This is one of the truly unique features of getting your custom
map from us. YOU decide both what size print you want and at
what scale. Scale is the
distance on the hard copy map (inches) versus the distance on the
ground (miles).
Q: Is there a higher
cost for a higher detail (zoomed in view) map?
A: In rural areas
pricing is almost always based on print size and not by the square
mile. If you want to see more square miles on your map, you can either
get a bigger print size, or choose a scale with more ground distance
per map inch (see scale table). In
urban areas, contact us for a quote.
Q: How big a map
print can I get?
A: Pretty BIG. Standard map sizes range from 36" to 60" on a side for
outside dimensions. We also do custom sizes and dimensions. Contact us for a quote.
Q: Why do you include
the Section Township Range grid on the BIG aerial map print in rural
areas?
A: This is a unique and very popular feature of EagleView BIG Aerial
photo prints. We included this reference grid on the map to make it
very easy for people to find specific land parcels based on general
legal descriptions. Without it, it can be difficult for people
to find a specific land parcel unless they know the territory real
well. We also included the section number labels.
Q: What about areas
of the country that use metes and bounds for legal descriptions instead
of the Public Land Survey System?
A: Areas of the eastern and southeastern USA, and areas of Texas do not
use the Section Township Range (PLSS) reference system, so this data
does not exist. For folks in these areas, their EagleView BIG aerial
maps will have the latitude/longitude tics extended through the map as
a reference. In addition, towns, and major roads are labeled to make it
easier to find the land parcels that they are interested in.
Q: Are the roads and
towns labeled?
A: Yes, the major roads are labeled, as well as most of the towns. The
smaller roads are not labeled because it would clutter up the map too
much. You can still see the minor roads from the aerial photo.
Q: If my area is not
square, but is rectangular or some other shape, how can I get the map I
want?
A: Just pick up the phone and call us, or
send us an email. We can create maps from 24" to 48" in one
dimension, and up to 10 feet in the other.
Q: Can I put my
company logo on my map?
A: Sure. Your logo and a short message can be added to the bottom left
corner of your EagleView BIG aerial map print for a small additional
fee. This is a great way to enhance market presence, since people will
see your logo on a permanently mounted wall map for years. People have
a natural tendancy to study maps of the area that they live and work
in.
Q: Can I sell, or
give away these maps to my customers?
A: Yes, you can buy the first map at first print pricing, and
subsequent maps at the discounted duplicate print price. Charge what
you want. Contact us for quotes on
large volume discounts.
Your customers can select the print size, scale, map title, and
middle-of-their-map ground location. You can put your company
logo on any maps you order and provide to your customers.
Q: Can I get digital
map data from you for my mapping software?
A: Yes. You can get both the high quality 1 meter resolution aerial
imagery, and the section, township, range PLSS grid data. We can
also acquire high resolution, aerial or
satellite digital data. Contact
us to learn more.
Q: I have digital map
data of customers, business locations, and field boundary locations. I
would like to include these as a map layer on my EagleView BIG aerial
map with appropriate labels. Can you include this on my BIG aerial map?
A: Sure can. This is a wonderful, and easy way to map out dozens and
hundreds of field or customer locations. Contact
us for more information.
Q: Can I include
other types of map layers on my EagleView BIG aerial map?
A: Yes. We can add many other types of vector map layers such as
digital soil type boundaries, flood zones, topography contours,
administrative boundaries, et.al. to create a custom map that meets
your specs. Contact us for more information.
