Leverage smarter route planning, better route planning, better thematic data preparation and even easier disaster management with topographic mapping services.
Topographic maps are graphic representations of features that appear on the earth’s surface. These maps are detailed and accurate. A topographic map can include everything from roads, building, administrative boundaries, state/international borders to rivers, lakes, wooded areas and even orchards. The maps are divided with a geographic graticule and a coordinate grid so that relative and absolute positions can be easily determined. The map is a 2 or 3 dimensional representation of an actual physical environment.
What are topographic maps used for?
Topographic maps are developed for a variety of reasons. Apart from recreational purposes (hiking, travelling etc.), these maps are also used by the different industries and even the government for mining, urban planning, land ownership and even for establishing legal boundaries.
Today topographic maps have become indispensable, especially for telecom and transport service providers. With topographic mapping services, telecom and transport providers can leverage smarter route planning, better route planning, better thematic data preparation and even easier disaster management. 3D topographic maps, the latest addition to the world of topographic maps are one of a kind. They are not only comprehensive, but can also cover hundreds of square kilometers in detail and with precision.
What are the features of a topographic map?
One of the distinctive features of the topographic map is the use of elevation contour lines that are used to show the shape of the earth’s surface. The contours can be used to show the height and shapes of mountains, the steepness of slopes and the depth of oceans. These lines have the same elevation on the surface of the land, referring to the sea level. Some topographic maps may include features like trails, mountain elevations and even survey control points.
