Welcome to the BCS Geospatial Specialist Group

The Geospatial SG provides a focus for all things geospatial at the BCS. We provide a forum within BCS for information exchange and debate on geospatial technologies, issues, opportunities, and best practices. The group also provide a means through which BCS and its members can become active participants in the field of geospatial technologies. Click here to find out about becoming a member.
