Could be better

The ordering process was quick and easy but delivery of the order was sloooooooow, not too helpful when you are relying on the maps to turn reports around within tight deadlines! I had to contact customer services to get my order prioritised and they were also slow to respond.

The mapping system itself could also benefit from an online map viewer with measuring tool, a massively importantly missing feature which is present on other platforms. Without this you have to print out lots of A3 paper maps- not good for the environment!

Having said that, the maps did offer good value for money and the mapping itself was of good quality.

Dear anonymous,

perhaps there's a time that we could call to demonstrate the site?

We appreciate there may have been a delay in mapping when you used us, but all systems are functioning normally now.
The average turn around time for a map delivery is 60 seconds for .MAP.

We do actually have the measuring tools you've mentioned, so we are very keen to show you how to utilise this, and appreciate you enjoying the quality and price of the mapping.

Regards,

The .MAP team.

Not impressed with product.

It may be competitively priced with other well established products but it's not a patch on them. Once you have the PDF plan there is no going back to edit the content again if errors have been made or more information need adding.

Dear John,

we now have the ability to edit PDF plans, as per your suggestion.

If there would be a time that one of our staff could run through this with you, then we can get you familiar with the new tool.

Regards,

The .MAP team.

Gnerally good

I completed the order and logged out expecting the report to be emailed to me or that an email would notify me that the report was ready.

Dear Chris,

we are sorry the method of delivery was not made clear.

That said, if you remain the on the page having completed your order, instead of logging out, the product is there to download almost instantly.

If having the map emailed is something you would like, we can look into this.

Many thanks.

Regards,

The .MAP team.

Good value

This is an easy to use system. The historical maps package is good value compared to other competitor systems.

dwg OS Map download

It was easy and versatile. The only comments I could mention is that the navigation tools such as boundary line and red-lining the site boundary tools were a bit ambiguous and difficult to use. may be an introductory quick reference "How to use" tool could be added or these may be made more user friendly. Also when it comes to the required sizing of the area of interest on the map it has options limited to increments of 1, 2 and 3 etc. acres. it would be nice if this could be made "user defined".

Thank you Kourosh,

we're delighted that you found the site straightforward.

We can certainly look into designing some sort of initiating messages, to explain what to click.

The increments you describe, are simply preset options.

If you wish to increase the map area by a custom amount, simply click the tools button next to the report boundary.

From there select Resize Export Area, and within that sub menu, select resize, and you will able to stretch the box at the same shape, to any level of size.

I hope this helps,

Many thanks,

.MAP.

Easy

I have used many OS companies over the last few years, this is by far the easiest and fastest

Helpful and Conveinient

I've always found the historic mapping services offered by GroundSure to be very prompt, with good quality maps. In terms of the ordering platform, although we don't use it much the snap to point tool is neat. In general it's a really intuitive system.

fast delivery

Please go back to emailing reports - clicking and downloading is time-consuming.
Reduction in file size would be really helpful, at the moment all files >5mb need to be split to be uploaded onto the planning portal which takes time.

Cost effective mapping

It offers a wide range of mapping options to suit all our architectural requirements. They are continually looking at new areas and ideas to add to the website.

No fuss Location and site Plans

Site is easy to use with fast response and download of information for both design development and for Planning Applications.
The range of the plans and documents available enable consideration of not only the site but its environs in the initial design process and assist in informing clients of potential problems with site selection and development.
A very useful tool.

Easy to use, pay for what you need and good customer service

Adopted this service in the office in the last year, it's very user friendly. The best thing for us is that you can set a boundary shape to get only the information required rather than just a blanket area - it means the costs are kept down.
Have used other online mapping sites and I would say this one is the most simple, which is a big plus when bringing it into a small office...
