UK Gov Speeds Survey, Saves Money with GIS

The UK government saved £700,000 by using geographic information software (ESRI) on mobile computers to produce the latest detailed Countryside Survey. In the past the survey used paper and took two years to complete. The survey of England, Scotland and Wales covers a sort of environmental change detection. This year’s data was available the same day the survey was carried out.

The data capture was done in half the time.
