Mapping software firm Spatial Information Solutions® (SIS) is offering complimentary ground control from CompassData to purchasers of its QA/QC software products, Accuracy Analyst® or Topo Analyst®.

Created with photogrammetrists and other mapping professionals in mind, the software from SIS is designed to ensure data accuracy and quality in GIS digital maps. Ground Control Points (GCPs) are an integral part of ensuring mapping accuracy by verifying the specific location points on the surface of the earth. By pinpointing locations, data from satellite or aerial surveys can be orthorectified to a higher accuracy. SIS technology automates geodata accuracy and quality verification, verifies LiDAR and raster elevation data accuracy, and provides other QA/QC tools. 

1. If you are not familiar with Spatial Information Solutions, go to their website to check out their orthophoto verification tool Accuracy Analyst® 3.0, and their LiDAR elevation data tool Topo Analyst® (each at $1,900).
