All of GfK GeoMarketing's maps are manually digitized by our in-house team of highly experienced cartographers and geographers. This means that our maps are quality-controlled, ultra-precise and 100% error-free.

Maps provide comprehensive, gapless coverage - in other words, maps and layers of adjacent countries fit together seamlessly without any overlap. This is true not only of administrative and postcode areas, but also of topographic features such as streets and bodies of water.

This harmonious fit between our maps is not simply a visual phenomenon: the layer tables associated with each map are efficiently and intuitively organized, allowing you to transfer and combine data columns among maps. This gives you endless possibilities for creating custom-tailored maps - e.g., a map of Europe's postcodes from Portugal to Belarus, or a map depicting all municipalities in Central and South America, along with major streets and waterways.

We provide maps for countries around the globe. Our European maps are updated annually. For many countries, place-name attributions are provided in both the international form (ASCII) and the local language.
