  Geomatics engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geomatics engineers design, develop, and operate systems for collecting and analyzing spatial information about the land, the oceans, natural resources, fixed assets and the environment.
Land Surveying and Geomatics Engineering (closely related to Civil Engineering) is concerned with the determination of boundaries and areas of real property, the design and layout of public infrastructure, urban subdivisions, maps, control surveys for engineering projects, and the preparation and interpretation of land descriptions.
Geomatics engineers utilize a wide range of technologically advanced tools such as digital theodolite/distance meter field stations, the global positioning system (GPS), digital imagery, and computer-based geographic information systems (GIS).

Geomatics is quite a new discipline: the term was first used in Canada in the mid-1980s.
The spatial data (comprising maps and information about road types and travel speeds) is supplied to you as part of a managed package which then analyses the data for the best route between your chosen departure and destination points, and then presents the results of this analysis.
In the light of examples like these, it is perhaps appropriate to think of Geomatics as being analagous to applied mathematics: a subject that has its own dedicated specialists, but also a subject that a great many other people practice even though they don't claim to be mathematicians.
