Over the millennia, surveyors have fulfilled the need for property boundaries, exploration, and mapping when planning. As the economy and population grew, surveyors met the growing demands for wider knowledge and higher accuracy. Today we are witnessing technological advances that have an unexpected impact on surveyors. Rapid technological progress goes beyond measurement and involves computing, linking and mapping geospatial data. These changes made geographic information more accessible. As a result, many pay great attention to accurate, timely and usable geospatial information. The Geodetic role changes rapidly to meet the requirements set. In addition to time-tested property measurement and construction methods, Geodesy has expanded to include the management, interpretation, analysis, and representation of spatial information . Geodesy should guide geospatial consumers working in different related disciplines. With all this, Geodesy must maintain the integrity of the data at a high level.

     Advances in computer technology have made it possible to collect data in more detail, speed up field campaigns, and analyze data immediately. The software is always improved and offers more solutions for niche applications. The systems aimed at collecting and managing location data are complemented by a number of technologies. For example , Geodesy systems can be combined with mobile phone and internet access, cloud computing and Internet Geoinformation databases . The new data includes reference data and information, visualization, infrared and multispectral imaging, oblique sound aerial photography, Cadastral information and regional cartographic products.

     The development of technology was a catalyst that allowed development from Geodesy to meter / interpreter to Geoinformation manager . In this advanced role, Geodesy can select, collect and combine information and techniques to meet the needs of the entire project, while at the same time knowing the smallest details in detail. Now let's focus on a few examples. The main problem is the lack of proper land registration and registration systems in the West African country of Burkina Faso. With financial support from international agencies, Burkina Faso is developing the Geodetic and computing power necessary to generate and store its Cadastral information. There are nine permanent GNSS stations in the country that serve as the basis for location and geospatial data. In neighboring Benin, field groups use a similar GNSS system to collect inventory information. In rural areas, GPS receivers measure property boundaries with an accuracy of 20-30 cm (0.6 to 1.0 feet). For real estate in expensive urban areas, GNSS Geodetic grade receivers collect data to the nearest centimeter. After verification and analysis by national authorities, the results are uploaded to the Esri ArcGIS feeding ground information systems .
