GIS Dolph Map

Many would probably argue that needing a paper map is a thing of the past with the invention of smart phones and our believed Siri to help navigate us, but sometimes the old standards are needed too.
That being said, my company is moving to downtown this year and part of our move is getting people acclimated is that we want people to have maps of the area so they know what’s in their area. Not everyone has smart phones so I gotta go the old-​fashioned way.
I kind of fell into the location as I wasn’t looking for it at the time.
It’s small and inside has maps, maps, and you guessed it– maps.
I explained to the employee what i needed and he showed me the map. He said they do custom work. We discussed potential discounts for bulk ordering. Bulk to them is 1,000. I only needed 200.
I asked about their web site and what I could get online and he didn’t know what they had on their site which wasn’t good, but oh well.
I didn’t purchase anything that day but I definitely would should we move forward with our plan. If you need a map, they’ve got you covered.

Face it. With the advent of the GPS along with their mapping overlays, satellite images & etc., maps have generally become relic of the past. However, there are some specific needs for them and have done business with Dolph for a number of years. Most recently I stopped by in order to purchase their «Waterway Map of Fort Lauderdale.» The reason I needed it was that though nautical charts nor GPS marine systems give very accurate images of the waterways, they give little information surrounding the waterways. Likewise topographical, street and roadway maps give hardly any information with regards to the various waterways, so if you want Dolph Waterway maps are the way to go.
I’m rating Dolph as Five Stars not only because of the fact that when it comes to maps, they are the only real game in town, but also because I have always had pleasant experiences with them.
Dolph has atlases, various maps on CD, county maps, folding city street maps, hurricane tracking charts, wall maps and will also do custom mapping for such things as subdivisions, Block Numbers, Latitude/​Longitude, Boat Ramps, MLS Areas, Parks, Fire Hydrants, Places of Interest & etc.

Maps… How kick ass is that?
Really, I just snapped this picture because way back in college, my best friend and I had this fictional story going which revolved around a shady organized crime character named the Dolph. Or was it Dolf? I can’t remember. In any case, each of us would write a part of the Dolph’s story and send it in e-​mail to the other, and then that person would continue the story.
This was back when Pine was the pre-​eminent e-​mail program, but the Dolph legacy lives on…
