The GIS Mapping Team within Fisher German is rapidly growing and with it, new innovations and developments are taking place. The team supports the whole business with plans, web maps and mobile data collection for clients ranging from large utilities clients such as National Grid down to smaller individual farming clients.
GIS covers everything that can be geographically located across the world. With GPS collection techniques rapidly growing and the introduction of INSPIRE (A European data sharing initiative), the number of datasets available to us to make use of in maps or to do analysis with is increasing daily. Layers for populations/ road networks/ environmentally sensitive sites and many more are being used to aid clients with decision making and planning.
Fisher German is an Ordnance Survey Partner meaning that we have direct access to the most recent OS background data and are able to provide this to clients passing on our own discount. We can manage your project or mapping requirements from start to finish using bespoke templates and viewing methods to suit your needs. Our relationship with the Land Registry allows us to easily access geospatial information for any registered title within the country to then create maps from.
How can we help you?
Having supported the business for many of its ever-growing clients the team is ready to help you to make sense of your ownership data by creatively and comprehensively displaying information across a map either electronically or in hardcopy format. Use of the internet to display ownership information and associated layers makes user interaction the key. Any layers can be overlaid with each other to give you a visual representation of land holdings and related statistics.

Accuracy is the key in using GIS and areas of land can be measured precisely using Ordnance Survey background data to ensure it correctly follows field boundaries. Photos or site reports can be geo-tagged and overlaid as popups on a web map.
Recently the GIS team have been looking at 3d imaging using Drones to capture high resolution aerial imagery that can then be manipulated into 3D pdfs or maps and used for accurate measurements and planning. There are also freely available datasets that can be used to produce 3D images.
Having access to the ever-changing landscape in digital map form is important to being able to react and make the correct decisions in your business. The changes are demonstrated with this animation -
