We also got to work developing relationships with data providers to bring new value-added mapping products to our MapWarehouse store as well as producing a library of mini tutorials to help you use them.

Best $100 per month investment for your businessFor a lot of us, $100 is a tank of gas. If you use that $100 tank of gas to drive your crew and equipment out to investigate various work sites, add your labour costs, plus any lost opportunity costs while your assets and gear are tied up on the road. That $100 tank of gas actually costs your business far more than face value.
If you’re reading his article, it means you’re interested in ways to streamline your operations so that $100 goes a little further. Here’s one simple way to do just that, and it’s completely free to try:
It will still cost you $100 every month, but, you can reduce the number of trips out of the office, effectively saving you that very expensive tank of gas and freeing up your employees and equipment to work on something more productive than sitting in traffic. If you save a tank of gas per month, it’s more than paid for itself!

Price drop across the boardFirst Base Solutions is pleased to announce that effective immediately, non-current orthophoto (aerial imagery) will be offered at a reduced price through MapWarehouse. Sales and marketing manager, Adam Sampson, declares, “This is huge. It’s not a sale or a promotion, it’s a long term price drop across the board.”

| Discounted imagery will be marked in red in the selection drawer. |
The majority of rural areas in Ontario don’t experience major changes to landscape features between image acquisition years, which means the older imagery continues to be acceptable for many purposes.

“We recognize that our customers are budget conscious just like everyone else, so we wanted to offer a product that would fit the bill for those who don’t need the most up to date imagery in areas with little year over year change, but still want to work with the benefit of a high quality photo base layer,” explains Sampson.
Not all areas are flown on an annual basis. The newest imagery available in any area, current calendar year or slightly older, will remain at regular price. If you don’t need the most recent imagery, take advantage of the new price reductions for vintage orthophoto collections on MapWarehouse dating back to 2000.
