Geomatics Sweepstakes - SIAST

Geomatics students solve practical real-world problems by gathering, processing and analyzing spatial information from a diverse range of sources.

Geomatics technologists work outdoors where they measure forest boundaries, streams, lakes, property lines and building locations, and gain the skills to make a detailed map of your work.

Geomatics (or Geotechnology) has been identified as one of the three most important emerging fields in worldwide labour markets. Graduates are in demand in a variety of industries, including land surveying firms, energy and mining companies, engineering consulting firms and many more!


Grand Prize - Garmin Dakota 20 handheld GPS device (approximate retail value $375) Outdoor navigation meets touchscreen simplicity in Dakota 20. This rugged, palm-sized navigator combines touchscreen navigation, high-sensitivity GPS with HotFix® satellite prediction, barometric altimeter, 3-axis electronic compass and microSD™ card slot in one affordable, power-packed punch.

2nd Prize - Garmin nuvi 2350 automobile GPS device (approximate retail value $185) The widescreen nĂ¼vi 2350 includes maps for the U.S., Canada and Mexico and features lane assist with junction view¹, trafficTrends™ historical traffic, myTrends™ predictive routing, and ecoRoute™ to help calculate a more fuel-efficient route.
