The planning of a survey project has a number of unique requirements depending on its area, purpose, and overall goal. GIS technology helps fulfill these demands by facilitating traditional tasks more efficiently and easily accomplishing new tasks that were previously impractical or impossible.

Equipped with GIS tools, surveyors can quickly determine environmentally sensitive areas, local control, road networks, previously established boundaries, zoning, permit status, and other critical information. These enhanced capabilities eliminate redundant efforts and promote coordination with other planning and government agencies.
