MGISS specializes in enabling accurate spatial data collection on mobile devices using cost-effective workflows. Their mission is to improve field data collection workflows by providing efficient and accurate positioning solutions. This includes choosing the appropriate global navigation satellite system and correction service to meet the required accuracy level for applications like mapping, inspections, and asset surveys. MGISS helps customers implement spatial data collection solutions that deliver a return on investment within a single project.

3. Improving WorkflowsImproving Workflows
• How can I improve the accuracy of my field
data?
• How can I share data and other spatial
resources more effectively?
• Surely with all this technology there has to be
more efficient, cost-effective ways of
– Mapping…
– Measuring/Inspecting…
– Reporting…
– Analysing/Predicting?
4. GPS or GNSS?GPS or GNSS?
• GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite
Systems.
• GPS – Global Positioning System (US Dept of
Defence).
• GLONASS – GLObal NAvigation Satellite
System (Russian System).
Plus BeiDou (China) and Galileo(EU)!
