Do One Thing Well

Collecting accurate field data is an art. It’s a craft that is mastered and perfected upon. It takes time and practice. We have spent the better part of the last two decades learning and perfecting our ability to quickly and accurately map massive expanses of territory. There is a great deal of satisfaction to be gained from doing something well, of such superior quality that you know it is going to stand the test of time. It makes the hard work and the obsessing over each and every detail worth all the effort. That’s our reward.

Experience

Global Mapping Solutions personnel have been conducting precise and comprehensive GPS field inventories for over 30 years. Many of our field inventories have been for electric utilities throughout the United States. We have accomplished over 70 successful field inventories for electric utilities, many of them electric cooperatives. The founder and President of GMS, Jim Nelson, has been in the GPS industry for 37 years.

Our Team

We have the most experienced team of field data collectors in the industry. We keep all of our data collectors after a project and move them on to the next one. Why? The reason is simple; so that they continue to get better, to improve upon their craft of data collection. Sure we could save a few bucks and hire any Joe off the street and teach them the basics, but the result would be cheap data. We are confident when we say that we have the best in the business.

Our Product

We know that every project is different and that every client has unique needs. We work diligently to address all the requirements and return a product that we proudly put our name on. Many times we have been asked why we are so fanatical about having good data. Why is “pretty good” not good enough at all? Every inventory and every piece of data we have collected, and there has been a lot, is part of a foundation that we help our clients construct. This foundation is built upon extremely accurate data so that as your needs evolve you have the comfort of knowing that what you have built is strong because the foundation is rock solid. We know the value of having accurate information; that it can save enormous amounts of energy, time, and money.

WE WORK HARD, BUT WE HAVE FUN TOO

Our story is simple. We work early. We work late. We work weekends and holidays. We work when Mother Nature decides to throw a curve ball. We do it because this is what we know; this is what we do best. Our mission is to provide the best data collection and mapping services in the industry. We strive to be one step ahead and respond to the changing demands of a data rich world by utilizing and developing cutting edge GPS and GIS technology. Our goal is to provide the most accurate and complete data possible in the least amount of time and at the lowest cost.
