Cartoscope
directors first commenced their mapping business in 1969. In
1988 the company diversified into tourism publishing and now
have a proud record of service to the public and industry. Cartoscope
publish over two million maps and guides each year and the number
continues to grow with the coverage expanding along the eastern
coast of Australia and to selected inland regions of New South
Wales
The major
benefit of Cartoscope products lies in the maps. These differ
from most other maps in that they carry more information which
is of value to the tourist, such as picnic spots, museums, national
parks, lookouts, boat ramps, golf courses, petrol & gas stations
and caravan parks to mention a few.
Cartoscope
receives many letters from
travellers saying our maps are better than other retail
maps and are excellent for planning their whole holiday. Cartoscope's
most outstanding feature is the value provided by producing a
quality product that works for the tourist, the advertiser and
the regional tourism boards. Clients claim our maps are their
best advertising media. "We have tried many types of
advertising, most have been failures. Your map has proved a real
winner for us",
Bill Coombe, Amaroo Lake Cruise, advertiser on the Great Lakes
map.
