Maps bring visual context and clarity to postal addresses. A clearer picture is always better for business. 

What you can do with the Maps *

• Display the approximate location of an address record.
• Detach the map in a separate resizable window.
• Move around a full size map of the UK using a mouse.
• Find distances between a selected address and any points visible on the map.
• Zoom in and out through 5 different view levels
• Transfer maps to other programs using drag and drop or clipboard.
• Access map data for a specified grid reference from your own programs using the AFD Utility DLL
• Drag and Drop a Map Image into other Applications - like Microsoft Word.
• Print a local map, area map and postal address onto a single A4 sheet.

To meet our stringent requirements, Great Britain Map data must be compatible with Postcode Geography; positionally accurate and constantly maintained. The Bartholomew data met these requirements.

The 1:200,000 scale is an ideal business geographic data set. It is comprehensive with a clear, clutter free presentation. More than just a road network the maps make users aware of the environment by identifying urban areas, woodland, water and land use.  Millions of road users will be familiar with Collins Road Maps of Great Britain – we use the same data – and it’s free to AFD customers.

* About The Source

Bartholomew’s have been map makers since 1826.  All map data is compiled, owned and constantly maintained by Bartholomew’s using the latest GIS digital technology. Bartholomew's are not reliant on external sources of map data, so AFD are using maps straight from the source.  www.bartholomewmaps.com
