How is all that data used?
The GIS (Geographic Information System) used in surveying captures and stores data related to positions on the Earth's surface. It’s used to create maps that reveal spatial relationships that are critical in areas such as agriculture, healthcare or military intelligence.
Technicians and geospatial information scientists and technologists utilise GIS information to produce data layers, maps, graphs, and reports. They compile data from remote sensing devices, and cartographic or global positioning system maps, and enter it into GIS databases that are then utilised all around the world as an information source.
