Summary

Geospatial technology is revolutionizing how organizations interpret and interact with the world by providing tools that collect, analyze, and visualize location-based data. This technology comprises raster data for modeling continuous surfaces, vector data for mapping discrete geographic features, and real-time data for capturing dynamic information, all of which underpin strategic decision-making across various industries. Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and Global Positioning System (GPS) form the core components of geospatial solutions, enabling applications ranging from environmental monitoring and agricultural optimization to logistics, public health, and real estate. By integrating diverse datasets, geospatial technology enhances decision-making, improves efficiency, and offers scalable, accessible solutions through modern platforms like Felt, which simplify workflows and make geospatial data more intuitive and actionable for users of all skill levels.
