The Use of GPS for GIS Applications
| Abstract: | During the last decade the demand for GIS in management and design applications has greatly increased. The realization of a GIS in many application areas still suffers from data acquisition problems. To be of value to the user a GIS must be updated regularly so that the information in the data base correctly represents the real world. However, the acquisition of up-to date GIS data by conventional survey techniques is prohibitive in cost and has therefor limited the applicability and usefulness of GIS to potential users. Described in this paper is an attempt to overcome this problem the present work focuses of the use of GPS for GIS applications which has entered a new age with the operational capability of GPS system as well the developments in GPS receiver technology and processing strategies. A combination of GPS survey and GIS techniques were employed to construct a digital database for use in the study area and to get a topographic map for the same area. |
