Industry
GIS (Geographic Information systems)
Environmental Studies
Urban Planning
Application
Stores geographic data with attributes consisting of points, lines or polygons representing features on Earth’s surface. GNSS data integrated into GIS software for the purpose of mapping, analysis and decision-making in environmental, urban and natural resource studies.
​
ESRI Grid or ASCII Grid
Industry
Environmental Studies
Agriculture
Hydrology
Application
​
Formats store gridded data representing elevation, temperature, precipitation or other environmental variables. When combined with GNSS data, they enable terrain modelling, hydrological analysis, and environmental impact assessments.
​
​
Each format serves specific purposes and industries. Companies and professionals often choose formats based on their software compatibility, data analysis requirements, and the specific needs of their projects or applications. The choice of the GNSS data format depends on the intended use, compatibility with software tools, and the analytical requirements of the industry or project at hand.
