A Perfect Pair: GIS And IoT
You probably don’t give IoT sensors a lot of thought, but they’re all around us every day. Your car is full of them—telling you what the temperature outside is, when you're running low on gas, if you’re about to back into another vehicle, if you have low tire pressure; the list goes on. Even when you aren’t near your car, you’re still carrying around sensors inside your smartphone, such as a magnetometer (which tells the phone which way is north like a compass would) and a gyroscope (which tells the phone which way it’s oriented).
