Geoinformatics On Your Mobile!

The Geographic information systems that we know today are actually a simple science that has been developed on the understanding of using geospatial coordinates to study different aspects. If this seems like a complex definition, let’s try something simpler. Many of you might not be familiar with the word geoinformatics. In fact, it is this misconception that leads to people disconnecting themselves from crucial opportunities to pursue programs in places like SIG and other reputed GIS institutes in India. Well, if you are amongst this crowd, let me tell you that you are losing out on something that is really good. Geoinformatics is not a complicated science that has a very niche domain to cater to. On the contrary, geospatial sciences are emerging as one of the most wide spread domains that are said to be supporting economies in a big way.
Don’t believe us? Take a look at the larger picture and you might just want to rethink your position. For starters let’s link geoinformatics with something simpler and easier to understand. Did you know that geospatial sciences are not restricted to the big computers that you ...
... see in offices? In fact, you carry the remote sensing and GIS applications on your mobile to quite an extent. Here is how this happens:
The GPRS
Remember the times when you were lost in crowd and tracing roads seemed like one of the most difficult things to do. This was more of a tragedy when you are in a completely new town. However, some years later, we were introduced to the magic of smartphones that were powered with unique navigation and mapping apps. Ever since, the idea of getting lost anywhere in the world seems like a problem of the bygone era. Now when you can’t figure out the right road, all you need to do is activate your app on the phone and you will get the right guidance. This happens because your mobile works as a geoinformatics interface that is able to interpret the data from remote location sites to give you the precise details.
The advantages
Using the cool navigation apps, you can drive through unknown areas, plan your vacations and head towards the unknown roads with greater confidence. In fact, more often than not, people are seen insisting on wanting geoinformatics apps on their mobiles thanks to the independence it gives them.
What does this mean?
The direct interpretation of this changing trend means that geoinformatics is becoming very popular. With the increasing users, the need to upgrade the expanse of the systems is also prominent making geoinformatics one of the most sought after domains for people wanting to build bright careers.
Currently, when it comes to pursuing MSC in Geoinformatics, the programs in Symbiosis conducted by SIG are one of the most reliable options. Apart from the masters program in Symbiosis, you can also pursue certification courses at SIG. Admissions to the present batch are on in full swing and if you think you have it in you, SIG is the place to apply!
