GIS Conversion and Map Digitizing Services

June 14, 2010

GIS Conversion and Map Digitizing Services enable the preservation of historical maps, property maps, geologic maps and all other paper based map products.  GIS is defined as “a technology for managing geographical information.”   A GIS system consists of hardware programmed with suitable software (such as ArcInfo or AutoCAD Map) which allows users to manage and analyze space data and attributes (geographical information) following precise scientific formulas. 

There are two main types of GIS: Vector GIS, which uses lines in order to delimit geographical objects and Raster GIS, which uses a regular reticulum to document geographical elements in space. Vectorization helps to create maps out of satellite or aerial images. In the field of graphics, this process assists in resizing without any change in the shape of the graphic.

Experienced mapping services experts can help with your tiff conversion, gis conversion, cad conversion and raster to vector map conversion, as well as map scanning and digitizing.  Companies such as CAD CAM Services, Inc., use advanced R2V technology to convert maps and other graphics from raster to vector formats, providing easy archiving and quick access.  CAD CAM understands the importance of accuracy in map conversions and we are proud to boast that we are able to achieve a consistent +/- .005” accuracy in our GIS conversions. 

GIS conversion experts are also aware of the importance of accurate representation of contour lines, map attributes and layers.  CAD CAM follows “best practice” standards to ensure accurate, cost-effective map conversion work for all types of GIS projects, from cadastral and utility to the most sensitive defense agency maps and satellite imagery.   We use a combination of GIS products, including  AutoDesk, Bentley, ESRI, and Intergraph and we also employ our own Cad Perfect™ and Cad Perfect CAD conversions™ tools to ensure the most accurate map conversions possible.  Our GIS conversions look like exact copies of the originals, and they are a high-precision job – first with different applications and then hours of hand redrawing by our experienced professionals.

We deliver the converted data in whatever format our customers require, including:  AutoCAD Map, ArcGIS, MapInfo,MapGuide, Geodatabase Design and others as requested. 

We have extensive experience in map digitizing and GIS conversions, with customers ranging from the U.S. Department of Defense to small surveying companies and preservationists with one-of-a-kind historical map archives.
