About Pixmap

In July of 2009 Macarena Pérez Correa founded Pixmap in Bariloche, Argentine Patagonia, with the mission of providing business solutions in Geographical Information Systems, processing satellite & radar imagery, aerial photography and geo-referenced databases aimed at producing quality information for business decision making.

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data that integrates, stores, edits, analyzes, shares, and displays geographic information. GIS applications are tools that allow users to create interactive queries (user-created searches), analyze spatial information, edit data in maps, and present the results of all these operations.

GIS can relate unrelated information by using location as the key index variable. All Earth-based spatial–temporal location and extent references should be relatable to one another and ultimately to a "real" physical location or extent. This key characteristic of GIS has begun to open new avenues of scientific inquiry.

Some applications include and arena retreated to: scientific research, resources management, assets management, archeology, environmental assessment, urban planning, cartography, sociology, historical geography, marketing, telecommunications and transport/logistics. Eg, a GIS allows an emergency group to calculate its response time in the event of a natural disaster.
