Roger Tomlinson: The Father of GIS
Roger Tomlinson, known as the father of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), revolutionized the way we understand and interact with spatial data. Born in Cambridge, England, in 1933, Tomlinson pursued geography and earned degrees from multiple institutions, including Nottingham University, McGill University, and the University of London. His academic focus was primarily on geography, geology, and land use, which laid the foundation for his groundbreaking work. -
Dangling Nodes Say What!?
Understanding topology in geography is crucial for ensuring accurate spatial relationships between features, preventing common errors like dangling nodes, overlapping polygons, and misaligned boundaries. By fixing these errors, we create reliable maps that enhance navigation, planning, and data analysis, making geographic data more effective and trustworthy.

As-builts: Construction's Crystal Ball (If the Crystal Ball Was Half Drunk)
Despite the as-built's aspiration for architectural precision, construction realities often diverge, necessitating high-accuracy spatial data tools like Bad Elf GPS to bridge the gap between blueprint ideals and built environments. -
We Came, We Saw, We Heard, We Conquered
The 2023 Esri User Conference was a great success for Bad Elf LLC. We met with many customers and partners, learned about the latest trends in GIS technology, and came away with a lot of new ideas. We look forward to attending again next year. -
Tree Inventory
Tree inventories hold significant importance for organizations, communities, and individuals due to the numerous benefits that trees provide to the environment. -
