Who is FindMe! Static intended for?
FindMe! Static is intended for people in need of high quality maps and would prefer not using Flash for their projects.
Top
Who is NOT FindMe! Static intended for?
If you want to provide your customers with an interactive mapping experience, you should use FindMe! Dynamic. If your goal is to map several locations, then DB Mapper would be a better choice.
Top
What is the difference between FindMe! Static and FindMe! Dynamic?
FindMe! Dynamic provides dynamic maps and are created in a flash format, thus providing a unique interactive experience. FindMe! Static on the other hand is comprised of static GIF images that do not allow for interaction. Please see Products > Compare for more details.

What is the mapping coverage?
We cover the entire US territory (all 50 states and the Federal District of Columbia), including U.S. Possessions and Freely Associated States (Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Midway and other Minor Outlying Islands)
Top
Can I make changes to the map?
You can customize the map in several ways, but you cannot modify the layout of the map itself; we would have to do that for you. We have a cartography department available for such jobs at very reasonable fees.
Top
Is the Adobe® Flash Player required?
No, users are not required to have Flash Player 7 installed in order to view FindMe! Static maps.

Licensing Topics
Why do you only license to web builders?
The prices offered are for web builders. Note that, for a final client, a resale margin and project integration costs may be applied by the web builder. This is why the final cost of a project may vary from one case to another.
Top
How much does it cost?
FindMe! Static is a highly affordable solution starting as low as $7.95 on a ‘Pay Once, Use Forever’ license. Payment can be made directly through our website.
Top
Can I test the map before I purchase it?
You have the option of downloading a fully functional free trial map that is water marked. You may purchase the final project at any time, which will not contain the aforementioned watermark. You are not obligated to purchase until both you and your clients are fully satisfied.
Top
Can I use my FindMe! Static map in different websites?
The license allows you to use your FindMe! Static map on several websites provided they all belong to the same owner. You cannot however, use it on a website that belongs to a non-related company.
Top
What does the 'Pay once, use forever' license mean?
‘Pay Once, Use Forever’' means you only pay once, just like with any regular software. There are no additional monthly, annual or per-hit costs.

Technical Topics
Can I use this map in my signature?
Yes, you can. In fact, we recommend you include a link to your 'Map & Directions' page where the map is embedded. This is an excellent way of including very useful information as required without overloading anyone's in-box.
Top
I have found a street name which does not coincide with the one that I know it by. What is the reason for this?
We only use a street's official name. Our cartography department can modify any street name at very reasonable fees.
Top
I believe that there has been an error in the description of a building, park etc... How can I inform of these?
We keep our databases as up-to-date as possible, but due to constant change, occasionally there may be sections that become outdated.

Our cartography department would be more than happy to modify any discrepancy for a reasonable cost.
Top
What is the meaning of the yellow band in the central axis of some of the streets?
The yellow color denominates a city's main roads.
Top
Where are the maps hosted?
Once purchased, your FindMe! Dynamic (i. e. system and data) is downloaded and hosted on your web server.

Our maps allow you to be self-sufficient so you do not depend on Flashmaps or any other third-party.
Top
What is the meaning of the red and green bands in the central axis of some streets?
The red and green colors refer to highways, where the red takes precedence and indicates roadways of higher importance.
Top
