EastWest Mapping

Recreational and Tourism Mapping are our business

EastWest Mapping has been involved in recreational mapping for the past twenty years with two strands to our business. We publish & sell detailed mapping for recreational activities in the Leinster region. We also provide a nationwide survey and cartographic service for the tourism, local authority and publishing sectors.

The hallmark of EastWest Mapping publications are careful survey work and attention to detail. We like to ensure that the detail on our maps and in our guidebooks matches what the walker or cyclist will encounter on the ground.

Digital Map Products

We now have a comprehensive digital map and navigation system available for our Dublin & Wicklow mapping. This runs on the Satmap Active 10 GPS unit which can be carried on the walk and will update you exactly as to your current position. The unit also has a route planning function to help you assess the length of a proposed walking route and amount of ascent and descent etc. The mapping is at a nominal scale of 1:25,000 with a 1:50,000 layer to assist planning and overview. More detail on our digital mapping page plus the online catalogue.

VAT on maps

Whilst VAT (Valued Added Tax) is a fairly simple tax in general principal, the application of VAT in relation to maps in this state is quite simply crazy. If as a publisher we produce:
1) a book or booklet (bound and with more than eight pages) with map content printed on the pages, then this is a BOOK and rated currently at 0%. The consumer pays no VAT.
2) a folded map with same content, then this is a MAP and rated currently at 9%, it was 13.5% and will return to that in 2014, afaik. 9% of what the consumer pays goes to the Revenue.

Wind Energy

We all have a duty to reduce our carbon emmissions whether that be by means of reducing consumption, using less fossil fuels or making choices about where we make our electricity. I must admit to having quite mixed views about the growing number of wind farms in the south east of Ireland. I can think of four sites within a few miles of here with several more planning applications in the works.
