GIS and mapping
Map digitization
Map digitization planned around the required accuracy, available information, site conditions, and intended technical outcome.
Overview
Maplas provides map digitization through a scoped workflow. Source data, coordinate references, attributes, scale, quality, and intended users are reviewed before the spatial workflow is configured. The selected approach is intended to turn location-based information into organized data, analysis, or maps that can be understood and maintained. Scope and reliance are confirmed for the specific assignment, and no statutory outcome is guaranteed.
Typical use cases
This service may be useful for project planning, field verification, design or construction support, technical review, data preparation, quality control, or decision-making involving spatial data, coordinate systems, mapping standards, analysis needs, and intended users. The appropriate use depends on the records, site, accuracy need, and requested output.
Expected deliverables
Depending on the agreed scope, deliverables may include organized spatial data, checked maps, layouts, attribute tables, or agreed digital exports. Formats, coordinate references, assumptions, and limitations are confirmed before delivery.
Client preparation
Available records, the general location, intended use of the work, site-access information, and any known constraints should be discussed before the assignment is confirmed.
Maplas process
Maplas reviews the requirement, confirms an appropriate method, plans the field or technical work, checks the resulting data, and prepares the agreed outputs.
Professional scope
Regulated survey work is undertaken through an appropriately licensed survey partner and in accordance with applicable Kenyan professional and legal requirements.
