The development of various geomatic applications in the forest requires advanced technologies for collecting, transferring, and processing data from the field, related to the spatial positioning of various topographic details. Special software is also required to report the coordinates of detail points and obtain various graphical products. In the forestry sector, planning maps, in analogue and/or digital format as appropriate, are used for various practical applications. The exploitation of cartographic material in digital format, with high accuracy, involves a process of spatial transformation or georeferencing, for which a few at least four points of known coordinates, are required in the two working systems. The positioning of the points required for the georeferencing process is performed with Global Navigation Satellite System (G.N.S.S.) technology, with a G.P.S system and/or with total station (TS), as appropriate. The MapSys 10.0 software can be used to perform the spatial transformation process. The results obtained in this case study ensure that the georeferenced raster is used with optimal accuracy to solve various current problems in the forestry sector.
