Digital maps are those virtual images which provide a digital view to any topographical location. The digital county maps are best used in synchronization with the Global Positioning System.
Below mentioned are some common fields of application where these digital plat maps can prove their utility:
- Computer
Applications:
Some computer applications and computer programs like Google Maps
and Google Earth are made to provide a view to the world from the
space. These aerial views are generally known as aerial maps.
Google Earth provides digital mapping in computer application. This
program is commonly used for recreational purposes tracking distance
between two terrestrial locations or finding a location on Earth.
- Scientific
Applications:
With the advancement of mobile computing technology, the use of
digital geographical layouts in the field of science and applied
sciences has also increased. Geology, engineering, surveying,
architecture, forestry, mining and archeology are some of the fields
of science which are making use of these digital geographical
blue-prints.
Nowadays, one can get his/her digital geographical layouts customized as per his/her requirements. These custom maps just ask for the image, format and, of course, the location for which one wants to get a customized map.
The
foundation technology behind the digital geographical layouts is the
Global Positioning Systems technology. It help in the navigation
through these topographical blue-prints.
