This map is fully vector editable and layered into useful grouped layers for each feature type. View the layers panel(opposite), for details on the layers in this map. It’s not too detailed that you can’t read all the labels or see all the features clearly when printed out large. A0 is a good size to print this map or you can extract or crop sections of the map and print or use at a smaller size.
This map provides the ideal foundation for adding a variety of other layers. This map is perfect for visualizing postcode boundaries, service areas, and other essential data for logistics, marketing, and regional planning. Provided as editable Adobe Illustrator, Adobe PDF and SVG files, you can easily tweak and tailor the maps to suit your specific requirements by changing fonts, colours and road thicknesses etc.
With coverage spanning the entire UK, including Ireland and Northern Ireland, Offered in vector, raster, or printed formats, they're scalable to any size without compromising on detail, making them the go-to solution for businesses in need of precise geographical information.
We call this our Motorway Map which is a bit of a misnomer because it shows much more than just the motorways. You’ll see from the illustrator layers panel there are many more layers, all of which contain vector elements which can be customised, coloured, styled or deleted.
What makes these maps particularly valuable is their versatility. Whether you’re looking to create detailed travel guides, informative geographical presentations, or even artistic interpretations of geographical data, these maps are up to the task.
They serve as an excellent base for a wide range of projects, providing users with both the comprehensive data of a traditional map and the flexibility of a customizable vector graphic. This adaptability makes our Motorway Map an indispensable tool for educators, designers, urban planners, and anyone in need of detailed, editable geographic information."
We've created a small bundle of files available to download completely free of charge below.
Illustrator Layer Structure
This image shows the layer structure found within the Adobe Illustrator Vector Software editor. This layer panel shows what layers are present in this particular map when purchased.
Depending on the specific area and type of map you choose, the quantity, names and arrangement of layers can vary slightly.
This layer structure ensures that each map is created in the most efficient way we can think of.
We are designers ourselves and know how much of a pain it is to work on a design or composition that has a flattened or poorly thought out layer structure.
Adding Overlay Maps
If we are asked to add another type of boundary map as an overlay e.g. NHS Boundaries, Political Regions, Sales Territories or Postcode Boundaries, they will also be created using vectors and will occupy their own layer and have their own sub-layer structure so it is easy to show or hide such features.
With a bit of experience it is relatively easy to use the layer structure to create a pdf file with the ability to select the visibility of each of the layers.
Raster images are made up of pixels, while vector images are made up of lines and shapes. Raster images are best for photographs, while vector images are better for map features such as roads, rivers, and boundaries. Vector images are more flexible, scalable, and precise than raster images, making them ideal for map & plan design. Vector images tend to have smaller file sizes and can be read by screen readers.
We will overlay practically ‘any’ boundaries you need over the top of this type of map as an additional vector layer. Listed below are just a few of the boundaries we most often overlay. Simply let us know what boundary you’d like to see over which area and we’ll get an example map emailed over to you within the hour.
Printing Laminating and Sign or Whiteboard printing of our Road Maps, Street Maps and Motorway Maps
We offer the flexibility to print any of our maps in practically any sizes, whether you require a laminated poster map, A4 printed maps, deskpads, or office wall maps printed onto a whiteboard or magnetic board. We can create the maps you require and transfer them onto different types of printed media, at a faster rate and a lower cost than you will have initially thought possible. Contact us by email or phone with your requirements and we'll have a price and timescale back to you within the hour.
Commissioning a custom map for your office wall is a straightforward process with us. To start, simply specify the geographic area you want the map to cover, including the central focal point. Let us know your preferred size for the print and the level of detail you'd like to include. We will then create a preliminary design and send you a mockup via email. Once you've reviewed it, you can request any design adjustments. After finalizing the design, we'll print, laminate, and dispatch the map using a next-day delivery service. It's a quick and efficient process – place your order by mid-morning on a Monday, and you could be holding your custom laminated map by Tuesday.
We provide a range of printing and laminating services for our Road Maps, Street Maps, and Motorway Maps. Our offerings are versatile, accommodating almost any size you need. Whether it's a large laminated poster, A4 printed maps, deskpads, or even maps printed onto whiteboards or magnetic boards for office walls, we've got you covered. Our process is designed to efficiently produce high-quality maps on various printed media, all at a pace and price that might pleasantly surprise you. To get started, just send us your requirements via email or phone. We'll quickly get back to you, typically within an hour, with a detailed quote and timeline.
