About Us
MyOnlineMaps.com is a subscription mapping service for individuals and organizations that want to create professional map and chart images. The company was founded in 2006 by Patrick Kelly and Jonathan Weindruch to provide advanced mapping features and functionality through an easy-to-use web interface for non-technical users.
Patrick Kelly has been producing maps for presentations and reports for over a decade in the education industry. After spending years in the education policy arena, he realized that there was no quick, convenient, and cost-efficient solution for creating custom maps for reports and presentations. In order to make great looking custom maps, one needed to spend thousands of dollars on mapping software and more time and money on training to learn the software. MyOnlineMaps.com is designed for all professionals and map enthusiasts (not just programmers with advanced computer skills) who want to create great looking maps, but don’t have the time or resources to invest in expensive and complicated mapping software.
Jonathan Weindruch is a web strategy consultant with expertise in e-business, Internet marketing, and web site development projects. As the owner of Websults, a web site development agency, he has been involved in online dynamic mapping since 2004. His mapping development experience includes generating dynamic maps via a variety of open-source web technologies. He has developed custom map solutions for several clients including the State of Tennessee and Painter Ready.
What do we value?
MyOnlineMaps.com values fun, learning, community, and customer service. Our goal is to provide a mapping service that functions flawlessly and is fun to use. Mapping software is typically difficult to use. MyOnlineMaps.com aims to be a fun destination for creating maps and interacting with peers (fellow subscribers).
We want people (both subscribers and non-subscribers) to learn from our web site. Our vision is that thousands of people will bookmark pages in the Resources section of our web site to access best practices, tips, and links for creating professional-looking maps. In addition to free online resources, we also strive to foster learning by offering educational institutions and students discounts on the MyOnlineMaps.com subscription.
Community is another core value of MyOnlineMaps.com. We intend for the web site to be a destination for users to share tips and tricks as well as their favorite maps and data sets. By providing a forum where everyone can learn from one another, MyOnlineMaps.com will become a web site hub for best practices in map and chart generation for reports and presentations.
Lastly, we are committed to our customers and the highest level of customer service. Although we can’t create your map for you, we are here to help answer any questions about how to use the system. In many cases one of the founders of the company, Patrick or Jonathan, will personally return your phone call to help resolve your issue. We look forward to serving you and welcoming new subscribers into the MyOnlineMaps.com community.
