Are you just beginning or a modest freelancer? Do not let that stop you. We want you on board!

Can I use this map in my signature?
Yes, you can. In fact, it is a good idea to include in your signature a link to your 'Map & Directions' page, where the map is embedded. This is an excellent way of including very useful information which can be used when required without overloading anyone's in-boxes with unnecessary kilobytes.
