The applications of the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology in the Mauritian sugar industry are reviewed. It is found to be an appropriate tool in the timely and rapid production of large scale topographic and 2m contour maps for land planning, siting of irrigation systems, deriving digital elevation models, establishing ground reference points and the collection of environmental location data for GIS. The prospects of further applications are discussed in relation to precision farming, orthoimages and positional data for utilities. | |
