Since the foundation of Global Geobits, one of its main activities has been in the area of digital mapping and GIS Database Development,which forms the backbone of any GIS application.We have thus exercised great care in producing our digital/ GIS ready databases applying rigorous and strict QC/QA procedures. Our spatial data is delivered with adequate metadata to insure our clients of the superior quality of our data. We have considered and addressed technical issues such as scales, map projections, and datum transformations… etc. under the supervision of academic professors specializing in the area of surveying, mapping & GIS. Our team has covered large areas of Egyptian territory at the following scales: 1:1000,000 – 1:250,000 – 1:40,000 – 1:25,000 – 1:5,000. Digital mapping and GIS database development has been accomplished through a variety of methods including:

• Data conversion from paper to digital format.
• Digital mapping & GIS database development from satellite imagery.
• Digital mapping & GIS database development from aerial photography.
• Digital mapping & GIS database development from ground & GPS surveying.

Global Geobits is ready to produce GIS databases for any region inside Egypt that is outside our present coverage as soon as the client indicates the boundaries, scale, and other specifications required for the product.

Whatever the data you need, we can deliver it. Our highly trained surveying, data acquisition, and application development teams are ready to help you throughout your work, through specific well designed stages including:

• Available & required data assessment including maps, satellite images, documents, attributes, etc.
• Design and implementation of data acquisition work plan.
• Surveying and spatial data capturing (mapping, field surveying, satellite remote sensing, GPS, etc…)
• Data preparation (digitizing and scanning) and attribute data collection & data entry (e.g.: street names-landmarks- etc…).
• Database design & attributes modeling.

GPS is viewed as the ultimate dream of any surveyor. Our company has long realized that technology and used it in map production and data collection. GPS is being used in various modes including differential mode, RTK ...etc.

One of the definitions of remote sensing is "remote sensing is the acquisition of physical data of an object without touch or contact". July 1972 marked the birth of launching the first earth satellite (LANDSAT). Since then many satellites were launched among which are SPOT, IRS, IKONOS, QUICKBIRD ...etc. Global Geobits has used new high resolution (sub-meter) IKONOS, Quickbird and Orbview satellite imaging in producing large scale maps for many cities and villages inside Egypt . Rectification and Geo-referencing of these images were based on GCP's mainly from GPS surveys. Field teams are usually sent to the site to collect relevant attribute data.

Global Geobits Company enjoys very strong background in the area of surveying including:

• Plane Surveying.
• Geodetic Surveying.
• Total Station GPS Surveying.
