GIS ( Acronym for Geographic Information System) - An integrated collection of computer software and data used to view and manage information about geographic places, analyze spatial relationships, and model spatial processes. A GIS provides a framework for gathering and organizing spatial data and related information so that it can be displayed and analyzed.
GPS ( Acronym for Global Positioning System.) A system of radio-emitting, and receiving, satellites used for determining positions on the earth. The orbiting satellites transmit signals that allow a GPS receiver anywhere on earth to calculate its own location through trilateration. Developed and operated by the U.S. Department of Defense, the system is used in navigation, mapping, surveying, and other applications in which precise positioning is necessary.
Various mapping services are available to Kenton, Campbell, Pendleton Counties.

LINK-GIS aerial photography is acquired at 1"=100' and 1"=200' scales. Images are taken from an airplane equipped with mapping cameras. Most LINK-GIS aerial photography is in natural color, with some older photography available in black and white. No live video feeds are used to acquire these images. For more information on this process, feel free to call our office or stop by for an example.
Past flights occurred every five years, but currently LINK-GIS is on three-year flight cycles. The latest flight was in the spring of 2010.
