Photomapping

Photomapping is like taking a big picture of the ground from up high, like a bird's eye view. But this big picture is really made up of lots and lots of smaller pictures, like puzzle pieces. By putting all these pieces together, we can create a super accurate and detailed map of an area.

It's a bit like when you make a big puzzle at home. Each piece on its own might not make much sense, but together they create a really cool picture!

Photomapping is used by people like scientists, geographers and cartographers (people who create maps) to study and understand different landscapes, like forests, deserts, and even cities. It's also used to plan things like construction projects or to help emergency responders in natural disasters.

So, photomapping is like putting together a giant puzzle of lots of small pictures to make really good maps that help people understand the world around us.
