What GIS brings to mapping Dynamic Maps Layer stacking

Layering Add or remove layers depending on your particular purpose E.g. See ArcView and Google Earth

The purpose of GIS To link places with descriptive information –E.g. The Eiffel Tower and its name Layering : To create maps with many different pieces of spatial information arranged in layers on top of one another Manipulate : analyse and view spatial data to help users answer important questions or reach conclusions about geographic issues.

How GIS is used Getting 911 emergency services to your home Planning water and sewage services for new residential areas Ensuring that the pizza you ordered gets to your home within the promised time

Geomatics Is the science and technology used to: –Gather –Analyse –Manipulate geographic information It includes: Global Positioning Systems, Geographic Information Systems, Aerial Photography

Jobs in Geomatics Scientists Geographers Surveyors Archaeologists Business Forestry Medicine
