Abstract

The traditional method to construct Geographic Information System (GIS) is to scan the published maps, then the important and difficult step is to digitize the maps data. It costs a lot of time and human resource. Because a Global Positioning System (GPS) can offer high accurate digital signal directly, we developed a new method that uses the GPS to construct the GIS.
