We maintain a GIS/Mapping lab in a 1200 square foot office building in Smithfield, Utah, USA.  Some of the hardware and software we use include:

• ARC/INFO GIS Program

• ARC/VIEW GIS Program

• ERDAS Imagine and Ortho Base Programs

• AP190 Analytical Stereo Plotter (Carto Instruments):  This instrument is used to map from standard (9X9 inch) aerial photos.  Photos are mounted on glass plates and "oriented".  Photos can be viewed at up to 15X scale in stereo.  Mapping is conducted with a 30 micron dot in the center of the magnified view.  Mapping is compiled as digital files that can be dumped to the GIS for manipulation, plotting and analyses.  Digital mapping is ortho-rectified to minimize distortion inherent to stereo aerial photos.

• Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator

• Cal Comp Drawing Board III Digitizing tablet

• Hewlett Packard 3500CP Large format Inkjet Printer

• Several Windows PCs
