Global Positioning System (GPS) Data Field Collection and Verification

Collecting and verifying GIS data for 9-1-1 dispatch mapping can be overwhelming.  Not only is it time consuming to collect the Global Positioning System (GPS) locations but also to create and maintain the data layers.  However, accurate GIS data is the key to reliable 9-1-1 dispatch mapping.  If your agency does not have the resources to collect and verify your own data, GeoComm offers a reputable service of collecting accurate information and verifying the GIS data for you. 

GeoComm’s GPS collection and verification projects include collecting data to:

• enhance existing data’s spatial accuracy
• build new spatially accurate data layers
• assist in addressing or readdressing

Field Collection

GeoComm’s field collection processes are tailored to each of our client’s specific needs and requirements.  Our experience with a wide variety of clients and in numerous unique projects throughout the United States has enabled us to refine processes and polices to ensure successful, timely project completion.

Field Preparation

Prior to fieldwork a multitude of important project objectives are implemented to reduce the amount of time in the field and to ensure data completeness and accuracy.  One key step is public awareness.  With any project that involves the general public, success is predicated on communication and public awareness.  Based on our years of data collection experience we have found that there is a substantial increase in public cooperation and response when everyone is well informed.  GeoComm provides an innovative public awareness campaign and educational program to increase project understanding and enhance support from your community residents, business owners, and local public agencies.
