MAP IT: Case Studies
Municipalities
If you have already invested money in digitizing and transformation of paper maps and CAD drawings into a Geographic Information System (GIS), you already see the value of managing your information geographically. Despite your best efforts, it is likely that data is missing, incomplete and inaccurate. For large geographic areas that are constantly changing, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to keep up with the changes to underground utilities by digitizing records that are not updated often enough. Whether you want to incrementally improve the accuracy of the data in your GIS or you want to do it right the first time, definitively locating your underground utilities using advanced locating techniques and GPS is the way to go.
