   Da Yu has always focused on map products as its main publication. In the early labor-focused map industry, quantity and quality are issues that are almost impossible to over come with. But the vast development of the economy these days, the Taiwanese consumers have more usage and demands of map and tourism information. In response to the market demand, Da Yu adapted a computerized system in 1990 to automate editing process and upgrade printing quality and information collecting abilities. During this stage, Da Yu has trained and cultivated an editorial team familiar of automated digital production process, this has affected Da Yu greatly in the long term process. In 1992, Da Yu started to replace the traditional hand-drawn mapping process with a digital system. We adapted computerized systems and softwares to reproduce digitalized map of all Taiwan and for the recent 5 years, we have finished 309 towns and cities 1:25000 digitalized maps of Taiwan. This series of published products are already now selling on market.

  Due to the all-time update of map information and the increase of the demand on road travel information preciseness, Da Yu is now planning on carrying out interchange and upgrade of data format in the internal digital operating process. This complicated process is based on geographic data system plus the information gathered from the GPS on-road research.

In the foreseeable future, DaYu is bound to become one of the leading high-tech digital map processing companies of the world.
