xyHt‘s July issue features Geographic Information System and the impact it is making on the modern world.

As always, if you don’t have a subscription to our print edition, or if someone else in the office has snaffled your copy, never fear, here is the digital edition. Click here or on the cover to the right, to view the July 2021 issue of xyHt magazine.

Here are some highlights:

• When Mapping Goes Viral: Digital mapping has taken off during the COVID-19 pandemic. From tracking cases to allocating vaccines, GIS technology is at the frontline of the war to beat the virus.
• GIS Saves African Lions: The use of GIS technologies helps humans live better and sometimes by doing so helps protect wildlife.
• Surveying and GIS: When it comes to these two geospatial professions, it’s not an either/or issue. They are complementary.
• The GeoDude: Geoff Jacobs continues his series about the early days of 3D laser scanning, and this month he looks at the competition between the four big players in scanning.
