Future Mapping.

Is mapping only for the happy scientific and interested few? Believe me, there’s hardly any subject that’s not mappable in our world today and there will be much, much more to come if you are – in addition to the regular collection of geo-data – personally able to support. Coming from the antique survey and drawing methods, we now all know by now maps are made of highly-advanced survey, storage, and processing techniques, using and creating more and more data retrieved from your individual contribution to the enormous global databases.

Keeping the static maps for several purposes, the demands for extensive digital (interactive and 3D) maps, supplemented with statistics, real-time information and photographic visuals will grow progressively. With an enormous global variety of users in a growing demanding field, many of us will have the joy of providing geo-data collected with our own devices. The aid of Artificial Intelligence, algorithms and some out-of-the-box mapping, in the combination with strong GIS software, will provide us a fantastic map scenery which will last for us all for the next years!
