Map Digitization

Map digitization is the process of converting physical maps or geographic information into digital formats that can be used with computers. This involves scanning paper maps or tracing features like roads, rivers, and boundaries into software, creating detailed digital layers. The resulting digital maps allow for easier analysis, editing, and sharing of geographic data, supporting applications in navigation, urban planning, environmental management, and more. Digitization enhances accuracy and accessibility, transforming traditional map information into versatile digital assets for various technological and analytical purposes.
