Making your custom Google Map application possible and affordable with MapTechnica

Google Maps is undeniably a fantastic resource. By linking Google Maps with your business data, you can visualize your data and gain business intelligence in ways never before possible.

However, if you have ever tried to create custom overlays for your maps to, for instance, visualize zip codes or county borders, you have no doubt ran into the brick wall most app developers run into: creating and converting your custom data to assets usable in Google Maps can be exceedingly difficult, expensive, and time consuming.

For instance, just to show U.S. ZIP codes on your Google Map requires processing the TIGER/Line® 5-Digit ZIP Code Tabulation Area shapefile for the continental U.S. on a top-of-the-line 64-bit machine with dozens of gigabytes of RAM resulting in gigabytes of data. If you're starting from scratch, figuring out the workflow for this effort can take weeks and thousands of dollars. Why not skip this step altogether and use our pre-configured data sets that can be plugged into your Google Maps application?

MapTechnica provides the hard-to-create zip code, city, county, and GIS map tile sets so you can make a great mapping application. Use our online Map Tools to access our U.S. Zip Code, City, and County data sets hosted on our servers. If your custom app requires storing the assets on your own server, you can purchase our data sets for thousands less than what it would cost to develop them yourself.
