MapText’s Online Cost Calculator: the High Cost of Manual Text Placement

Plainsboro, New Jersey - December 8, 2006

MapText’s online cost calculator shows you exactly how much time and money you waste with manually placing, moving, and editing all those imperfectly placed labels on your maps.

Text conveys most of the spatial information on a map, and the effectiveness of a map depends in large measure on the quality of label placement. Placing text on dense maps in a coordinated, aesthetic, and conflict-free manner is a highly complex problem. When done entirely or partly manually, it quickly becomes an extremely time-consuming and tedious process that costs you money.

MapText has pioneered automated solutions for cartographic-quality text placement for almost a decade and has developed proven software solutions that help users cut their map production costs drastically.. 

The updated cost calculator is accessible on the Web at: www.maptext.com/cost.shtml
