Review Summary For : CQ Maps
Reviews: 97MSRP: varies
Description:
Professional Maps for Amateur Radio. Each Amateur Radio map is custom made for you and is the end result of hours of enjoyable labor and painstaking quality control. In the end, my goal is for all who order from CQmaps to sit back and look at their map as not only a geographic tool, but as something to be truly happy with.

Outstanding product, and even better customer service! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased a large Azimuthal Projection customized wall map for my station from CQmaps and found that all the sales and delivery processes described in the previous reviews occurred exactly as written. The product was beautiful and perfect in every way.

Except one! In the upper left corner of the map is a large block of text, containing the name and call sign of the purchaser and the geographical datum used to produce the map. But in that block my family name was glaringly misspelled! Enough so to be jarring to me every time I looked at it.

That evening I sent an e-mail about the mistake to Mr. Viars. When I went onto the computer early the following morning his reply was waiting for me. He acknowledged the error, apologized profusely for making it, and said that a replacement map (with the corrected name) had already been produced and would be shipped to me that morning. It was as simple and direct as that! The new map will be perfect.

It is regrettably fairly uncommon these days to deal with a vendor who stands behind his products without excuse, hesitation, or complaint. CQmaps is one of those rare companies that still honor the traditions from an era now passed. It merits strong support from the Amateur community.

Great product, Fast service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
After meeting James and seeing his maps at Dayton, I knew I would be placing an order when I got home. His product looked great and couldn't pass up the Dayton discount. I ordered the azimuth projection centered on my QTH. James processed the order quickly and the map came well-protected in a cardboard tube. I am very pleased with the map and glad give to James and his new venture a positive review.

Super product from a super company! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
After seeing the product advertised and reading the reviews here on eHam I placed a small order from James. The map was expertly packaged and arrived in perfect condition. What can I say except to heartily agree with the others here? I love the map and will be a repeat customer. CQ Maps is highly recommended!

Really spruces up the shack Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ordered the azimuth map and the WAS one and am delighted with both. A nice touch is my name and call in the top left hand corner of each.
James at CQ Maps answers e-mails very quickly and is great to deal with. The price is very fair - particularly as mine came with the Dayton discount.
I am having my azimuth map block mounted so it will have pride of place in the shack.
Looks great and a useful aid to DXing.

The Best Maps Available Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Order was quick and easy. Was notified before shipping. Received a quality product as promised. I met the owner of the company at Dayton and was very impressed with all his products, so it was a no brainer to order. I mounted mine on an oversized piece of white cardboard. (nice quality from Staples) I placed QSL's around the map. It looks GREAT and is very functional. This is a TOP NOTCH map. you won't be disappointed. I got the high gloss one.

Great map and fast delivery Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I've used a small 8 1/2 x 11 paper azimuthal map for many years. I saw CQ Maps ad, and thought it was a very reasonable price for a useful map to spruce up the shack. I ordered the heavy paper version and added lamination. About 3 days later the postman left a sturdy cardboard tube with the maps at my door. I'm very impressed with the clarity, detail, and organization of the map. And it looks great on my wall. Well done, and great service by CQ Maps.

Best I've seen Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
A good Azimuthal map is important to my DX'ing, not to mention making an interesting wall hanging. There are a number of good maps offered, customized to your location, but the CQ Maps version is the best I have seen. The map being in color makes it much easier to use, and I am truly delighted with mine. I ordered the week after Dayton and had it in about 10 days. My map is printed on photo paper, and was well packed and shipped in a sturdy tube. It is a superb addition to my shack and I am very pleased with it.

Nice Map! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ordered my map and immediately received an email letting me know that it would be shipped right away.
A couple days later I received it, unfortunately the Post Office crushed the shipping tube and wrinkled the map. I was able to mostly get the wrinkles out of the map and mount it into a nice frame! it is really a beautiful map and looks great in my shack!

GREAT PRODUCT Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Spotted the ad on DX-World and put in an order, same day got e-mail notification my order was on the way with postage paid. Arrived a few days later by U S Mail who actually came to door. What a nice product to have on the wall. Printing is so clear and easy to read. Having a personalized map with my location as center is so helpful in my DX chasing. I recommend it, I got large version but am going to order a small one as well for my remote site.

Great Product & Company Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ordered both the US call sign district map and the azimuthal projection map on glossy paper and laminated in 24”X36” from Cqmaps and simply put it's a great product and in my opinion worth every penny. Crisp clear printing and nicely trimmed laminate boarder. Product arrived quickly even though I ordered it the week of Dayton and was packaged in a nice heavy shipping tube.
