The Modern Era of Mapping and Its Importance to Real Estate

Mapping is the process of creating maps of a specific region, area or land and a process that nowadays rarely uses traditional methods such as measurements performed with mechanical, manual tools. The development of technology has led to the development of many new tools and devices used for mapping purposes and as these tools and devices spread from being used only in cartography to being used in numerous other fields, the deployment of technology has reshaped the way that mapping is performed for real estate delimitation and appraisal purposes. Here are the new systems and devices that are nowadays extensively used for making the mapping for real estate purposes more accurate:

• GIS (Geographic Information System) – the system enables real estate companies and other types of organizations that offer commercial real estate appraisal software to integrate data from various resources and to create interactive maps that communicate and share information, to mention just two of the most important roles fulfilled by these complex systems;
• Drones – these unmanned airborne vehicles are nowadays extensively used for recording images of properties. The images are then interpreted and transformed into maps through another advanced technique, Photogrammetry. The high-quality images recorded by the drones over a specific plot can also be used for creating accurate 3D models of the plot.
