Middleburg, VA (July 10, 2018) - Over the years, we have been asked many times; whose maps are better: TRUCKADS® Designated Market Maps or NIELSEN® DMA® maps; otherwise known as Designated Market Areas.

Both mapping systems cover the entire U.S. without overlapping market boundaries and are practically identical for each market throughout the U.S. In addition, both use county lines as boundaries between markets, with the exception of a couple of markets that share a county. TRUCKADS® Designated Market Maps (on truckads.com) are available to the public for free and are easy to use and to navigate from market to market. Our mapping system illustrates where the markets are located in each state and the boundaries between each adjacent market.

We believe our designated market maps and corresponding data are the best geographic media market tools available on the internet today. They provide immediate and valuable detailed marketing information about each media market; including zip codes, cities, counties, states, population, population rank and TV stations. For over 12 years, TRUCKADS® has displayed its Designated Market Maps to the public at no cost; whereas, NIELSEN® DMA maps and data are hidden from public view and only available for sale at a steep price.

To complement our free Designated Market Maps, TRUCKADS® offers detailed ZIP CODE data in Excel format at an affordable price – which is substantially less, than offered by NIELSEN®.

TRUCKADS® supports and promotes the advertising industry by publishing its Designated Market Maps and Zip Code data to advertising agencies, media buyers and the general public. We look forward to your continued visits.
