Anyone ever create a development / community map as a marketing piece?
Hi Guys,

As of recently I have been listing a number of masterplan communities, some partially developed, some undeveloped.  I have a new one that is turn key with infrastructure in and even a substantial entrance with gates and a guard shack yet nothing ever built.  I think it would really benefit from a graphic piece showcasing the lot layout and some of the specific lot features.  I would like to be able to send something more appealing to builders and developers than just the black and white plat.  

My questions is has anyone created one of these?  My marketing department with my company doesn't know where to begin with this and I would have to pay out of pocket for them to try to come up with something from scratch.  As an ex graphic designer I feel like I should be able to figure it out fairly quickly on my own but I am not having much luck.  I have tried just starting with the survey as the canvas in photoshop but it seems harder than this should be.  I thought of using a combo of GIS and Photoshop but still not a good solution.  How are these companies putting out these graphically beautiful maps?  Is there a map making software I am missing?

I simply used powerpoint. Shaded areas can be created using the transparency tool in \"shapes\", highways and public transportation routes were also created with different lines, and the company logos were taken from Google.\n\nThe maps of the surrounding area are the most difficult to find. Usually, I found aerials by looking up other major destinations near the property and could find higher quality images from there. Otherwise, use Google Maps 3D aerial views to get location-specific aerials, though they may not turn out as good in quality. \n\nEither way, a map like this does not require a marketing professional but simply someone who enjoys toying around with these maps. This was easily one of my favorite parts of the internship.", "replies": [{"id": "f4xix3b", "text": "https://woodsidecommunities.com/community-map/\n\nMore like the map here as an example.", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "f8dfe0l", "text": "StepMap", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
