Analytical

Northern Cartographic provides a full range of GIS analytical services, from simple statistical summaries to investigating complex spatial relationships. We have helped many clients analyze their spatial data to aid in decisions and subsequent presentations. Regardless of the type of data, Northern Cartographic can provide a cost effective approach that maximizes your data investment.

Visualization

Northern Cartographic effectively summarizes complex spatial relationships into eye catching visualizations, conveying a wealth of information into one simple, easy to interpret graphic. We employ every conceivable combination of technologies to display disparate data sets in a coherent way. Whether it is topographic views for town planning purposes or data base graphics for business plan analyses, Northern Cartographic can create the visualization to match your needs.

Modeling

Northern Cartographic utilizes state of the art spatial technologies in the development and production of models in a wide range of programming applications. Our highly trained professional staff possess expertise in technical consulting, system design, application development, and technical documentation. Our programming skills are applied in unique and innovative ways, solving the most intricate spatial problems, from linking complex spatial data bases, to programming a full range of data base functions, both in and out of GIS software. Contact our technical staff and discuss your particular needs, at no obligation or cost.

Data Development

Northern Cartographic draws from every spatial technology available in the development of high quality data, ranging from traditional to digital methodologies. Our technical strengths are often applied in the development and use of complex spatial data bases. Most importantly, we can produce high quality data in a cost effective manner. Often mapping projects require an ability to develop data to augment existing data sets, especially in areas of the world where sources are limited. Northern Cartographic's abilities in data development support both the simplest and most complex projects, while remaining within your budgetary constraints.

Conversion of GIS Data to Desktop Publishing

Northern Cartographic are experts in converting GIS data into formats that graphic designers can easily use and modify, providing designers a low cost opportunity to access the wealth of spatial data and GIS capabilities. Our success is predicated on an ability to move between complex spatial GIS data sets to desktop publishing. This process, often an area of high cost and frustration for graphic designers, has been refined to a degree that allows us to provide graphic designers the data they need, in a format they can use, and at a price they can afford. One of the most frustrating aspects of the explosion in spatial data in recent years for graphic designers is the inability to use any of the data. Even the simplest of maps become complex and costly for graphic design shops to use. Northern Cartographic can provide base maps, at any level of detail, in formats that your graphic staff can use and modify. Take the frustration out of GIS data, and call Northern Cartographic.

Custom Programming

Northern Cartographic has the expertise to design, program, and implement a wide range of programming solutions, from simple editing interfaces to complex programming applications. Often our services to clients are devoted to the development of interfaces and other GIS tools that aid them in utilizing their spatial data without having to invest in the required expertise. Our custom programming can eliminate the need for highly trained GIS personnel, allowing the untrained to access and manipulate complex spatial data. We can provide solutions in a number of different programming options, from GIS software specific languages, to more common ones. We are also very successful in merging the two options, in order to take advantage of the strengths of each while minimizing the weaknesses.

GIS Mapping

Northern Cartographic's core operations are dependent on an ability to utilize GIS as a primary map production tool, providing high quality cartographic results using complex spatial data. The success of Northern Cartographic lies in its highly trained professional staff who possess expertise in technical consulting, system design, cartography, map design and layout, application development, technical documentation, and project management of GIS applications. The principals of Northern Cartographic represent the best technical staff in the region, and in their former and current employments have over 40 years combined GIS, data base, and cartographic experience. Northern Cartographic also has a wealth of knowledge and experience in employing the powerful tools of GIS to achieve high quality cartographic output; an experience base matched by only a few firms worldwide. Our expertise also extends beyond GIS mapping into related technologies, such as image processing, photogrammetry, global positioning systems (GPS), and publishing.
