What is visual spatial data analysis?
Visual spatial data analysis involves examining and interpreting data that has a geographical or spatial component. This process helps in understanding patterns, relationships, and trends within the data, enabling informed decision-making.
What is GIS?
GIS stands for Geographic Information Systems. Essentially, GIS is s set of tools used to display data on a map. This can be as simple as a trail map or a site layout for a special event. But the real power of the tools can be found when analyzing the data to showcase how it relates to the landscape when overlayed across the relevant geographic locations. This can be done over and over again with multiple layers of data on a map.
What data do you use?
We source data from many different reliable sources, including Open Street Map, NASA, USGS, and many other publicly available sources. If your project requires something specific that isn’t already available, collection of new data can be completed in the field to add to your project.

Are these services expensive?
