Product compilations

Mapscape converts and transforms raw data into up-to-date, accurate, and excellent digital map products, ready to be integrated in your product. One of the custom services is converting ESRI Shape data from various sources into a normalized GDF (Geographic Data Files) format. The target is to reduce the work at software- and system suppliers and decrease the time-to-market for innovative map products.

One of the innovative services that we are also offering is in the context of OpenStreetMap. Depending on your requirements, Mapscape can convert your business data into the OpenStreetMap world and/or offer the OpenStreetMap data into a custom format like a user-defined Shape format or GDF (Geographic Data Files, Navteq or Tele Atlas flavour) to reduce application' time to market.

Tailor-made content aggregation

The quality data from various suppliers is united into one digital map product, e.g. a digital world map, truck navigation map, special map, exclusive travel guides and point of interest (POI) product, or speed camera product.

Product tests

As an independent organization, Mapscape tests and certifies the quality of raw data and combined map products based on your requirements, our reference database, and the automotive quality standards.

Quality improvement

Mapscape supports improvement programmes for your map data, POI files, and special or dynamic content.

For POI files, Mapscape offers its data cleansing service enabling the data supplier to provide excellent quality-of-service and reduce data maintenance effort. By cleansing your POI data on a regular basis you can:

• correct invalid or mis-spelt addresses and postcodes
• identify POIs which have moved house and update their details with their new address.
• prevent wastage by removing duplicate entries for the same POI
• enhance your data with information taken from your own reference database
• reduce the maintenance costs for your POI dataset in general

Cleaning your POI data helps you as travel guide publisher or POI supplier ensure that the data you hold is current and accurate.
