Da Yu has always
focused on map products as its main publication. In
the early labor-focused map industry, quantity and quality
are issues that are almost impossible to over come with.
But the vast development of the economy these days,
the Taiwanese consumers have more usage and demands
of map and tourism information. In response to the market
demand, Da Yu adapted a computerized system in 1990
to automate editing process and upgrade printing quality
and information collecting abilities. During this stage,
Da Yu has trained and cultivated an editorial team familiar
of automated digital production process, this has affected
Da Yu greatly in the long term process. In 1992, Da
Yu started to replace the traditional hand-drawn mapping
process with a digital system. We adapted computerized
systems and softwares to reproduce digitalized map of
all Taiwan and for the recent 5 years, we have finished
309 towns and cities 1:25000 digitalized maps of Taiwan.
This series of published products are already now selling
on market. |

Aside from
the introduction of GPS and GIS related research development
that started in 1997 and purchasing GIS softwares to
integrate the digital maps, Da Yu has also started to
research on the navigation teams’ hardware and software
systems and will also be coordinating with DGPS bases
to record data and carry out off-line road data comparison
for first-hand road information.
Due to the all-time update of map information and
the increase of the demand on road travel information
preciseness, Da Yu is now planning on carrying out interchange
and upgrade of data format in the internal digital operating
process. This complicated process is based on geographic
data system plus the information gathered from the GPS
on-road research. Completing this process can give Da
Yu a precise and flexible GIS geographic data system
to uphold the quality of our products and at the same
time prepare our company for production of future digitalized
map products. In the foreseeable future, DaYu is bound
to become one of the leading high-tech digital map processing
companies of the world. |
