Geographic information science mainly studies basic knowledge such as geography, geographic information system, database principle, remote sensing principle and technology. Using 3S(GPSGISRS) technology, the materials in the earth system will be informationized, such as making electronic maps according to urban landforms for mobile phone inquiry, remote control of unmanned aerial vehicles, real-time positioning and navigation, etc.
