Map Books

Applied Data Consultants, Inc. (ADC) uses your spatial GIS data to create and maintain plat book and atlas data, making map book production easier, more accurate and less expensive. ADC is experienced using the ArcGIS® DS Map Book Extension from 9.x, Data Driven pages from ArcGIS® 10 and MapLogic Layout Manager for ArcGIS® to produce map books. ADC is also a MapLogic software reseller.

Traditionally, only specialized companies have created plat books and atlases. These companies use graphic programs with no spatial relationship to the data, which makes creating and maintaining them a time-consuming and expensive task.

At ADC, our goal is to help you to successfully create plat books, maps, flyers, pamphlets, and even posters that present geographic data in a clear, precise, efficient and cost-effective manner.

Benefits

Increase Accuracy
We use innovative GIS technology to create accurate maps the first time. We then make changes to the master database, rather than recreating it each time a new map is produced, reducing the possibility of errors.

Improve Profitability
Once the database is set up, it is less time-consuming and less expensive to update maps,which increases your profitability in subsequent years. Data then belongs to the county, which gives them the capability of creating maps in-house, or using the data for other purposes.

Reduced Cost Maintenance Program
ADC offers a reduced cost for updates to the book allowing the county to produce books more often if desired.

Create Eye-Catching Design
To ensure your book looks professional and eye-catching, our talented graphic design team will design an attractive cover and layout for you.

Speed Up Turnaround Time
Because updating is faster than reinventing the wheel, the turnaround time for the production of your books is faster, allowing you to get them into the hands of your customers sooner.

Give You A Choice
Conventional companies often don’t allow you a choice in who prints your map book. We can find a printer, or you can pick one of your choosing. And, we can put it in a digital format for you. It’s your choice.

Multi-Media Formats
In addition to printed map books ADC offers a DVD version of the map book and the ability to sell map books through a web page designed and hosted by ADC.
