Expanding geospace for tomorrow
GIS maps are multi-layered informational maps that provide an overview of land use and cover, elevation and slopes, utilities, etc. Geospatial information data is acquired and coordinated for use in the public and private sectors. Science, technology and aesthetics are integrated to generate an informative GIS map. Some of the commonly developed maps are contour maps, utility maps, spatial maps, cadastral maps, Atlas maps, thematic and zonal maps.
The mapping process involves the integration, editing, analysis, exchange and visualization of geospatial information using the technique of cartography and database technology. GIS technologies use GIS tools and their application to develop various maps based on land cover and use, utilities, oil and gas, agriculture, forestry, transportation, fiscal parcel, etc. GIS maps are used to create zoning plans for future development, determine environmental conditions, residential, industrial and commercial purpose, develop city and town maps, etc.
Leading GIS mapping service providers enable companies to plan, design, manage and create spatial databases. Aerial photographs, satellite images, paper maps or topographic data, of different scales and quality, are digitized using the latest technologies and the best equipment, thus guaranteeing precision and quality in the final result.
GIS-generated maps find a number of advantages such as quick access and analysis of information and statistics and easy data comparison for different pipelines and topography. Digital maps are generated using advanced GIS technology. Information data about various positions on the earth’s surface is captured, stored, integrated, manipulated, analyzed and displayed for easy access and use by the user.
Qualified geospatial experts address features such as land cover information, hydrology, roads (geometries such as points, lines, and polygons, and their attributes) on a map. The scales of a map are taken into primary consideration as they carry the information content on a map. Some of the more popular map services include:
1. Contour mapping services – evaluate areas affected by floods and forest fires, real estate planning and development, fleet management and logistics, market analysis, navigation and positioning, etc.
2. Packet mapping services – property ownership and related information, land administration, property registration by urban and rural government organizations, municipal planning and urban development, etc.
3. Utility mapping services – registration and maintenance of transmission lines of public services such as water network, telephone lines, power lines, gas network, etc.
Four. Cadastral Mapping Service – precise information on location, dimensions, geographical classifications, roads, parcels, railways, bodies of water, vegetation, of an area
5. Thematic and zonal map – physical, social, political, cultural, economic, sociological or agricultural aspects of a city, state, region, nation or continent.
In conclusion, the advent of technology has helped to go far beyond the realms of GIS by integrating geospatial information with digitally generated maps. Today, various GIS tools are equipped to provide GIS mapping services to clients belonging to various domains, with the highest clarity, precision and quality. These innovations led to a much better information system for aerial analysis of topographic features that are readily available to us for a better tomorrow.
