global mapping

Global mapping is the process of creating a detailed, accurate representation of the Earth's surface on a large scale. It involves collecting data from various sources, such as satellites, aerial photography, and ground surveys, to produce maps that show geographical features, infrastructure, and natural landscapes worldwide. This information helps in navigation, urban planning, environmental management, and disaster response. The goal is to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date view of the planet's geography, enabling better decision-making and understanding of global patterns and relationships.
