Total Place Maps

• With our unique ‘Total Place’ Maps you can display - on a single map - everything you need to know about a place and its customers/communities.

• The maps allow the simultaneous display of three different layers of data – a base layer, a thematic layer and a cosmetic layer. All layers can be displayed simultaneously, at varying levels of transparency.

• The maps are easy to create and can be used interactively, to inform a wide range of research and marketing activities.
