Advances in technology have made geographic information systems more valuable than ever. Today’s GIS systems are more powerful–and more complex–than their recent predecessors. Professionals who depend on a GIS to help make important business decisions need a full-service, experienced source to help manage this sophisticated and indispensable tool, and increasingly they’re finding it with Sanborn.
What is Planimetric Data?
Planimetric maps are maps showing only the horizontal position of features on the Earth's surface which reveal geographic objects, natural and cultural physical features, and entities without topographic properties. Topographic features not captured such as roads, buildings, and bodies of water that are visible and identifiable on aerial photographs can be compiled into map features through photogrammetric surveying procedures.
