Mapping technology refers to the tools and methods used to create, analyze, and display geographic information. This includes digital maps, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and satellite imagery. These technologies help users visualize data related to locations, such as population density, natural resources, and infrastructure. With the rise of smartphones, mapping technology has become more accessible. Applications like Google Maps and Apple Maps provide real-time navigation and location-based services. This technology is essential for urban planning, environmental monitoring, and disaster response, allowing for better decision-making based on spatial data.
