Map Competition

The winner of our inaugral "Best Map" Competition was Steve Emerson from Manawatu District Council.
His street map of Fielding was judged by our special panel (representatives from Bizedata, Critchlow Associates, e-Spatial and MapData Sciences)
to be the best example of good map presentation. Congratulations Steve.
