Computers in general are important to geomatics, primarily as a means of storing and organising the large amount of data involved in typical geomatic fields, which includes GPS navigation. Ultimately, your in-car GPS would simply not work without programming. But geomatics is relatively new (circa 1969) and computers capable of presenting the data visually, in real-time, have only recently begun to appear. The technology is constantly evolving, finding new uses in more and more fields of study, and computer programming is naturally at the forefront of that evolution.
