Using GPS equipment, a computer database of information is being created. Some of the information that will be recorded includes the following: Road Features such as road name, number of lanes, surface width, and surface condition; Road Events such as mile markers, bridges, and railroad crossing; Structures such as farm, rural residence, private business, church, school, and other buildings; plus other features such as a cemetery, water tower, park, or communication tower. Once this information is collected, it is then processed into the form of a map, a map with roads that can be changed, added to, zoomed in on, and printed. These maps can then be further designed into: v Zoning Maps Showing: Ø Future Land Use Planning Ø Current Land Use Planning Ø Boundaries v
