Maps a la carte, Inc. Releases TopoFactory, Our Revolutionary New
Topographic Map Subscription Service
Today is an exciting day for Maps a la carte, Inc and
TopoZone.com. After
many
months of development work and testing, we are releasing our
TopoFactory Web-based mapmaking subscription services. With a few mouse
clicks from the TopoZone site you can create and download your own custom
topographic maps! Our official product announcement will be made next
Monday, March 5th, but we want to let our TopoTimes subscribers get the
first look at TopoFactory and purchase a subscription at our discounted
introductory price.
TopoFactory is the quickest and easiest way to create and download your
own custom
topographic maps. All TopoFactory maps are made from the very
same high-quality images displayed on the TopoZone; you simply choose the
size of your custom map and what kind of image file you'd like us to create,
and we do the rest. Your map will be ready for download in minutes. And you
can make as many maps as you need for a single annual subscription - there's
no per-map charge, hassle, or inconvenience. We don't think you will ever
need or ever want to buy topographic maps any other way again.
The TopoFactory product line consists of two services: TopoFactory Basic
and
TopoFactory Standard. These are selling at low introductory prices of
$79.99 and $149.99, respectively, for a limited time in our online store.
These prices are discounted from our full list prices of $99.99 and $199.99,
respectively.
TopoFactory Basic lets you create custom map image files in TIFF or JPEG
format
(without the associated georeferencing information) for use on your
website, or in professional reports, filings or for other personal or
professional uses. TopoFactory Standard lets you create great custom map
image files in either TIFF or JPEG formats and provides complete
georeference (world file) information in either ESRI or MapInfo formats.
TopoFactory maps are ready to import into popular graphics, CAD, GIS, or
map-viewing software. You provide the application and we will provide you
with all the digital topographic maps of the United States that you will
need for one low subscription price.
What makes TopoFactory unique is that it relies on the searching and
navigation
tools that you use everyday on TopoZone. You have a chance to
view every map that you want to download before you make it. If you make a
mistake, you just download another one; there is no per-map charge. In
addition, we provide each user with a personal map making history to make
the process of managing your maps much easier than with any other tool
available. We understand that time is money and we will save you time in
the acquisition and management of your topographic data.
We hope that you will visit the TopoZone at
http://www.topozone.com and
take a look
at TopoFactory; you can then purchase our subscription services
at these low introductory prices. Acquisition of topographic data has never
been this easy or the prices so low!
Thanks for using the TopoZone, and we appreciate your support.
