ABSTRACT
The technological advancements in photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial information science are numerous. They have created new production methods in mapping and also many new applications. Amateur photography, Internet-based information services and car navigation are widely used by the public today. Changed social and economic conditions have come with globalization. Mapping tasks are carried out around the globe in cooperation with many organizations. Mobility, flexibility and readiness for learning new knowledge are requirements for the workforce in mapping and the production of geo-products. Google Earth and other net-based services eased the public access to satellite/aerial images and other geographic information of almost any place around the world. The interests and needs in education in these technical fields are increasing.
