Is that the only service you offer? digitizing? Have you considered other GIS solutions such as GIS intergration & programming services?

Interests:I am a Cartographer with varied experience. I work primarily as a freelancer. In my freelancing career I have worked with Maps.com, Designmaps.com, 3dmaps and various other map making and cartography sites.

I have varied software experience, however I use almost all the Cartography and quite a few GIS software, Illustrator, Freehand, Adobe Photoshop and Mapinfo to be precise. I have also worked on Microstation and other Intergraph software including Stereo Photogrammetry on ZI Photo Suites. The other software that I utilize for various other tasks specially 3D realism are Global Mapper and Maprenderer 3D.

Global mapper is a versatile software for various conversion and I found Maprenderer 3D for producing stunning 3D images from height data.

I am available for freelance work, right from mundane line digitisation to Illustrator / Freehand Cartography. Just send me a mail at promapper@gmail.com

Hi

Could you please elaborate on the GIS services in demand? I have been trying but haven't been successful in finding freelance jobs in GIS primarly because of data security issues. The GIS companies would have inhouse GIS professionals doing the job rather than relying on Freelancers. I really do not know about your experience with freeelancing in the GIS industry, do give us your advice.

Thanks

You guys are right about the security issues. It was a big shock to me coming to the Middle East and realizing that map data is one of the most secure data in Kingdom. We are so use to in North America getting very detailed map data for free. I am guessing India is the same way. In my mind, unless you have some effective way of marketing elsewhere (which usually comes by word of mouth and reputation in our business), you would be better off joining a local mapping firm in India.
