To turn maps into an effective communication tool, you need to reach your audiences. To reach your audiences, the map must present itself in a simple way that gives a sense of comfort and easement to the map users. There are many <strong>GIS Mapping </strong>Companies that can create sophisticated yet simple-to-visualize maps that are truly making an impact in the <strong>Cartography</strong> world.</p><p> </p><p><strong>What is the Need for Simplicity in Map Making? <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9224173270,RESIZE_584x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-right" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9224173270,RESIZE_584x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9224173270?profile=RESIZE_584x" width="180" height="180" /></a></strong></p><p><em>In a recent podcast, John Nelson talks about the creative side of the art of <a href="https://www.polosoftech.com/gis-services/cartography-in-gis" target="_blank">Cartography</a> and also sheds some light on the skills necessary to make a good map. From his talk, we realized that there are different skills which are necessary to make a good map and among all these skills the most important, according to John Nelson, is simplicity!</em></p><p>While tools are making map-making easier but that’s going to gibberish if customers don’t get any value from your maps. To give value to your customers your maps should be effective which definitely demands experienced <strong>Geospatial</strong> specialists. A common mistake we often notice among geospatial specialists is that they try to put a lot of information on a single map often making it discouraging and sometimes even confusing.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Skills Necessary for a Map-maker </strong></p><p><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9224174866,RESIZE_584x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-right" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9224174866,RESIZE_584x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9224174866?profile=RESIZE_584x" width="178" height="178" /></a></strong></p><p>Experienced GIS specialists have to work on a variety of complicated tasks such as IT, analytics, and are not limited to being a good database manager and a good graphic designer.</p><p>Having a designing background will certainly help the geospatial engineer go a long way in bringing efficacy in cartography. Experience in using tools such as ‘Color Brewer’ and ‘Viz Palette’ will help cartographers to pick meaningful colors for their maps.</p><p> <strong>Future of Maps</strong> </p><p>I believe the future of maps is likely in the hands of people who are creative and can bring the various applications of maps to the common people across various verticals.</p><p>Authorized groups such as the North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS) have been a source of inspiration to geniuses like John Nelson who have constantly referred to ‘NACIS’ for their own work. He has the opinion that maps can definitely be taken to a wide array of customers including the likes of Social Media, AI, Blockchain, and not just in Geography.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p>Map-making is not a big deal to make but to put it into a real-life application can be a little challenging if you lack creativity. Knowledge of the technicality is not enough to make it fit for today’s demanding audiences. Without a visual representation of how predictable data processes run in a <a href="https://www.polosoftech.com/gis-services/" target="_blank">GIS mapping company</a>, you can't guess by not seeing any sample work.</p></div>GIS Mapping For Pipeline Construction- Oil & Gas Industry l Arcenginehttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/profiles/blog/list/gis-mapping-for-pipeline-construction-oil-gas-industry-l-arcengin2020-06-30T08:16:31.000Z2020-06-30T08:16:31.000ZJake Smithhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/JakeSmith<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/6459584287?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=275"></div><div><p><strong> <span style="font-size:14pt;">Surveys</span></strong> are the demanding stage of the construction of the assignments. Construction survey of the pipeline for oil and gas requires expert engineering analysis, this pipeline needs accurate route survey and route selection. The GIS (geographic information system) mapping provides all types of geographical data for surveying the route. <a href="https://thearcengine.com/contact/?utm_source=mahesh">Arcengine</a> makes sure to give the best service drafting the project most efficiently and accurately.<br /> Many factors are affecting the survey to be studded subsequently. While pipeline construction surveys of oil and gas there are many circumstances to go through, GIS proves the most efficient and reliable technology for accurate surveys to overcome difficult circumstances.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Request For Free Trial: </strong><a href="https://thearcengine.com/contact/?utm_source=mz">https://thearcengine.com/contact/?utm_source=mz</a><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong>GIS mapping and technology</strong></span><br /> <strong>About:</strong><br /> <strong>A Geographical information system (GIA)</strong> is designed to store multiple geographical data in one application. GIA manages, analyses, store and capture the information for the surveying the land for oil and gas. It proves to be a reliable tool to navigate regional difficulties. It is a problem-solving device with advanced technology that helps in proper decision making and also used for visualization of land data in the exact environment. Oil and gas pipeline is one of the most difficult projects to work on; Arcengine makes sure to help you in all difficulties solved in the best way possible.</p><p><br /> <strong> Raster and vector</strong> are two types of main data stored in GIA, this data is time saving when evaluating and re-evaluating the land for pipeline construction. GIS mapping helps in finding the topography of the land to find the right of way for oil and gas pipeline construction, geographic data and elements consist of are latitude, longitude, location, foreign pipeline, other construction, topography, demography, privately owned property, etc. <br /> GIC (geographic coordination system), IFC alignment, 3dimentional visuals, geospatial, plat map are few features Geographical information system(GIS) mapping consists of.<br /> </p><p>See Our Recent Projects: <a href="https://thearcengine.com/architectural-drafting-services/land-survey-drafting/">https://thearcengine.com/architectural-drafting-services/land-survey-drafting/</a></p><p><br /> Use of GIS mapping in the oil and gas pipeline construction survey:<br /> <br /> The right of way or route of the pipeline is to be trench across a flat surface with a constant temperature. While survey and planning pipeline (oil and gas) right of way GIA mapping provides information about the land. Finding the right of way is a tough job in taking consideration of other geological structures creates major difficulties, some land difficulties faced while the survey is a mountain, desert, roads, localities, vegetation, huge rocks, fluctuation in temperature, etc. GIA provides this information on a single 3d map with custom removable layers of map data it makes it easy for the surveyor to survey the land in the right of way. <br /> Surveyors need not go on the field every time to draft survey the obstacles or measurements of the land.<br /> <br /> Advancement in the survey due to GIS / Advantages due to GIS</p><ul><li>GIS simplifies workload by including all kinds of land information on one board.</li><li>GIS consist of technology like IFC alignment, topography/ elevation, GCS (geographic coordinate system), demography, other construction, and foreign pipeline identification can also be done.</li><li>In the construction of the oil and gas pipeline, GIS provides a better understanding to solve the problem of ground level.</li><li>Geographical information system mapping exhibits visual information of elevation as well as a plat map.</li><li>Underground information such as tunnels, bridge construction can also be surveyed through GIS, it proves to be reliable technology for the survey.</li><li>Advance information like 3d data of geography, landmarks, tower, etc is to be included in the GIA map application.</li><li>GIS mapping technique proves to be cost-efficient and time-saving as it provides land information in one software.</li><li>It helps in clear understanding and better information.</li></ul><p><strong>Construction and survey</strong> with GIS mapping technology, Survey Planning, and drafting of construction projects need accurate data, the information needed about obstacles, land topography, locality, water bodies, roads, latitude, elevation, demography, etc are fulfilled while surveying the land.
