Convert your paper maps and what’s stored in your head into a more permanent digital record.

WTH has over 20 years of experience in converting paper plans and maps into GIS layers that can be stored, backed up, searched, and shared with others.

Collect accurate asset locations in the field.

WTH’s Think GIS software interfaces with Trimble GNSS products for accurate and precise asset location in the field.  With Think GIS Editor, collected points are entered directly on to the map.

Integrate your local utility data with available State and County aerial photos and GIS layers.
