From field surveys and address databases to utility networks, retail intelligence and drone mapping, DPS turns location data into decisions.
A geographic information system gathers, manages and analyzes location data. It combines different information layers and presents relationships through maps, dashboards and 3D scenes.
DPS has worked with GIS and map-data warehousing from its earliest projects. Our teams combine ground control, GPS surveys, satellite imagery and local field knowledge to build practical datasets for Myanmar.

DPS datasets support navigation, planning, logistics, banking, insurance, telecom and public-service projects.
High-resolution aerial surveys help landowners, planners and engineering teams create site plans and make informed decisions before construction.
The detailed information retained from the previous DPS GIS page is organized below for easier reading.
Address Point coverage used for navigation and location-based services.
Points of Interest coverage for retail, distribution, banking, insurance and city-guide applications.
DPS has been involved in map making and GIS data warehousing from day one. Its first satellite-map project began in 1998, when this imagery was largely reserved for military and oil-and-gas exploration in Myanmar. DPS then established Ground Control Points with Trimble Pro XR survey GPS equipment and completed Yangon streets in UTM in 1998. Early major customers included the US Government and MEGA Life Sciences.
Today, DPS GIS data includes the Myanmar road network, village points, Address Points (AP) and Points of Interest (POI). APs support ride-hailing and navigation services such as Grab and TomTom. DPS records include approximately 300,000 APs for Yangon, Mandalay and other major cities, together with around 60,000 POIs with rich attributes for distribution, retail, banking and insurance applications. DPS continues collecting detailed attributes for retail, navigation and future autonomous-vehicle use.
Current activity: Since 2018, DPS has collected POIs for Yangon and Naypyidaw and APs for Yangon, Mandalay and Naypyidaw, including data primarily used for Grab Taxi.
The 2021 update extends to Yangon Region boundaries. The address database includes house numbers and is designed to exceed commonly available online coverage.
POI content includes: 2,000+ bus stops, 370+ government offices, 340+ schools, factories, banks, condominiums, hotels, restaurants, monasteries, religious buildings, pagodas, railway stations, supermarkets, offices, hospitals, clinics, churches, gas stations, stadiums, parks and embassies.
House-number survey method: GPS cameras are installed on motorbikes and bicycles. At each property, GPS points and photographs are captured together with the relevant address details.
DPS uses high-quality drone aerial photography to create current site imagery, site plans, Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and contour maps. The resulting information supports decisions about building placement, drainage, planting, terrain and flood conditions.
The legacy portfolio also includes sample printed drone aerial photography, the Mergui Archipelago Island Finder, Myanmar GIS, Yangon GIS and Yangon City Digital Map projects.
The Yangon City Digital Map is a GIS originally developed with Intergraph GeoMedia Professional. Its base map was digitized from IRS Panchromatic satellite imagery at 5.8-metre resolution and calibrated with Trimble Pro XR GPS ground references.
