About Us
Who we are
Cartolog is a map application service provider. Its hosted solution, Cartolog MapApp, is a powerful, easy to use map application
that site and application developers can seamlessly embed in their products and services.
Cartolog’s mission is to facilitate ubiquitous use of maps in internet and mobile applications by providing programmers
and developers the means and tools to accomplish the task. It is Cartolog’s goal to become the leading provider of
map application services to our customers.
The idea behind the company
A map is a geographical representation of data. A map application, also referred to as a geographical
search engine, provides user interaction with the data. Instead of the common flat tabular textual display, the two-dimensional
map display enables many exciting and beneficial features (More ...)
There are three types of maps: regular maps, map with overlays and map application. Regular maps are either paper maps or
static maps, e.g., an image and a map with overlays is a map with markers laid in specific coordinates.
A map application is an independent application. It requires design, setting up a working
environment, coding, debugging, adding new features, debugging again, styling with layouts and graphics, setting up the
web servers for hosting, managing databases, handling scalability, optimization, monitoring performance while still supporting
flexibility and modularity. Maps are much more than javascript and Google's map api
Cartolog bridges this gap by providing a white-label map application platform
that enables web site developers and site owners to embed interactive geographical applications that display geo-tagged content visually on a map. The service makes redundant the need for an in-house Cartolog, e.g., a dedicated
programmer on a payroll. Furthermore, your dedicated map can be on your site tomorrow, rather then next month or two and
in an affordable cost.
Cartolog is a portmanteau of the Greek words "chartis"
= map and "logia" = "study of".
Building map applications is what Cartolog is all about.
