Digital Mapping

Digital mapping is the process of creating and using detailed maps stored in digital form, often through Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It involves capturing spatial data—such as roads, buildings, and natural features—and representing it on electronic maps. These maps can be easily updated, analyzed, and shared, enabling applications like navigation, urban planning, environmental monitoring, and disaster response. Digital mapping enhances our understanding of geographic areas by providing precise, layered, and interactive visuals, making complex spatial information accessible and useful for a wide range of professional and everyday needs.
