Premium peformance free of charge? Look no further!

Everyone knows that every service comes at a price. However with map&guide base, somebody else pays so that you can enjoy the benefits of free, high-quality route planning plus many extras - what a refreshing change!

In order to ensure that we will be able to continually operate map&guide base and provide updates for map material and additional information without incurring any costs, we decided to team up with several corporate sponsors. In return for covering our costs, the sponsors get the chance to have their logos and product information displayed on our webpages and on the printouts of any routes calculated with map&guide base.

If you find that you are being overwhelmed by too much advertising, there is a simple solution:
Every non-gratis map&guide base package, which you can purchase at any time, features absolutely no adervtising whatsoever. Furthermore you can appear as a sponsor yourself - for a modest monthly fee.

In addition we always try to ensure the information provided by our sponsors on our free webpages is at least potentially useful. Wherever it is technically

possible, the advertised products/services shown change according to the route you have calculated. For example a hotel that is good value for money might be advertised for a point en route that you intend to reach after 8 hours of driving.

Targeted advertising

If your target customer group includes business or private travellers then it is definitely worth your while becoming a map&guide base advertising partner. Remember: we can get your message out to exactly the right type of clientele that you are looking for.

If we have sparked your interest then our marketing department will gladly advise you on how we can work together to get the best for you - just send us an e-mail: marketing@mapandguide.com.

You can use a choice of different advertising formats in map&guide base:

• Advertising banner above the map,
• Integration of your company details into the route itinerary - either in a banner or your locations and branches can be used as possible route points.
• POI marketing: In other words icons for POIs (Points of Interest) are shown on selected map sections - in this case your branches or retail outlets.

This allows you to address your target group even more selectively than before. If you are a hotel operator, for example, you can target the users who have shown interest in planning a route in or through the region directly around your location.

As an added bonus you can also use your advertising graphics and logos. After all we realise that you sponsors make it possible to provide users with a high-quality professional route planner - for free.
