Mapping and GIS applications allow to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographically referenced data[1]. GIS technology combines database, mapping and statistical methods to integrate georeferenced data into visual displays where the relationships, patterns and trends in the data can be more easily identified[2].
Although Mapping and GIS applications do not rely on GNSS as sole means for data capture, the widespread of the GNSS technologies has allowed for low-cost data acquisition processes that made GIS technologies to be more generally used.
Application Architecture
GNSS is used for mapping and GIS essentially for data capture. Traditionally data capture is one of more time processes in GIS applications. GNSS has allowed for low-cost automatic processes for the capture of georeferenced data.
