Geospatial technology is a term relating to the collection or processing of data that is associated with geographic mapping & analysis of the Earth and human societies. Some of the widely used Geospatial technologies are GPS(Global Positioning System), GIS(Geographic Informations System) and Remote Sensing.

We’ve already arrived at the 4th industrial revolution where every day a new technology is invented. Technology is evolving faster than ever, every company and people around trying to keep up with the new trends cause it has become a vital part of decision making.

Be it our day to day activities Geospatial is everywhere. We have compiled the current Geospatial Technology trends that will be driving the future.

Let’s go to the top seven Geospatial technology trends of 2020.

1. Miniaturization of Sensors

Growth of technologies made chips smaller, the sensors have become more efficient and cost-effective. Smaller the size of the technology means it will be easily accessible and open to popularity.

Portable size satellites, the arrival of LiDAR make autonomous vehicles, mapping backpack and real-time data collected, earth observations gets easier when the size of sensors is small. Everyone loves to use small and application with interesting features. The more it is accessible, uses more data and real-time feedback gathered and it can be helpful for the users in many ways.
