Why 'Where' Matters

摘要

New books on geomatics are commonplace. This one, Why Where matters: Understanding and Profiting from GIS, GPS, and Remote Sensing, is not. Directed squarely at the business and policy communities, authors Bob Ryerson and Stan Aronoff focus on two value propositions: firstly, what increased use of these technologies can do for you, your business or your political constituency, and secondly, if you see yourself as already successful, why you should continue to increase your use of geospatial information. The publication is also serving as a useful resource to help those in the geospatial market sell their products and services.
