The uses and benefits of geospatial technology appear to be almost limitless. As one of the largest leaders in GIS, Esri is bringing the world into focus like never before. Far more than mere geographical portraits, Esri’s mapping systems integrate layers of information about population, behavior, climate, weather, or anything else that is affected by, or related to, location. Enhanced mapping is transforming the way we see the world and interact with it, as well as the way we experience and remember real-time events.
How Enhanced Maps Help Us Understand the World
As Esri and its creative users have shown us, anything can be mapped at any time. Real-time patterns of weather, finance, civil rights, and herd migration are just some of the subjects that can be understood and seen in a new light when viewed through a geographical lens. Maps can even quantify the economic value of public parks, or provide insight into specific, local sustainability solutions. They offer a new perspective on any subject — by viewing it as a piece of a larger puzzle.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a geospatial map with integrated photo, video, and data sources is, well, priceless.
Maps Save Lives
Just as we can understand the world around us more easily through mapping, we can understand events as they unfold in real-time. The power and flexibility of geospatial technology is saving lives and resources. In dramatic instances like the Thailand cave rescue or wildfires in California, maps have provided real-time awareness and facilitated communication to help crews respond to and manage even the most dangerous situations.
At DataCapable, our outage maps are built with Esri, so that we can harness their superior technology as part of our Threat Detector module, and use its location intelligence to assess, communicate, and act during a crisis. This means we are able to provide situational awareness to emergency management systems, utilities, or any other organization that needs real-time mapping during a crisis.
