" Making a map is like painting a bridge," said Jim Beradinelli, he is the president of southeastern Reprographics, Inc. he tells us that things that are always changing. one new road someone makes it could blow that whole new system off. Take Tuba for example... people always make new roads. so really none of the "rez" maps are actually correct.
They use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to collect the additional data they want to include on a particular map. in some new cars you could find a GPS system that actually works. GPs systems are like maps tat tell you were you are most of the time. there is also Graphic Information Systems(GIS), a type of database software. how it works is you give in some information they want, then the software creates a map based on the information you give it. well isn't that cool?
i guess you could tell the population for that town just by looking at the map. how far people live away from each other. how small or big the town is.it sounds very interesting to have this job. just to know were places are in different countries or states... it's like you were there before. sounds fun... don't you think?
