3-D Hiking Atlas of the Presidentials
I am looking for a little anecdotal information from the users of this board about the feasibility of marketing 3-D maps of selected destinations in the White Mountains. Are there enough map-philes like me that would cough up a few bucks for some new and interesting perspectives on the mountains they love? Would anyone on here be interested in adding such a product(s) to his or her collection?
I know the Northeast is a saturated market when it comes to outdoors-related merchandise. Perhaps this is because it is one of the biggest outdoor markets? But I also know it to be one of the more highly educated markets. I think intelligent people make for discriminating consumers. I am aiming for that market.
I am building a series of maps that I have yet to see offered on the Whites or anywhere else for that matter. The following images show prototype slides of a thematic atlas I am creating for the Northern Presidential Range. This is just one of several perspectives I have created. These demo slides include elevation, natural landcover, slope in percent and a selected viewshed from an established camp in the Great Gulf.
Any comments or considerations would be greatly appreciated. This project is still in its infancy. I have several other candidate areas under development as well. Suggestions are welcomed.
Sincerely,
Rob O'Keefe
