Communication between the photogrammetrist and the land surveyor is essential for the overall success of a large scale mapping project, but each will have individual responsibility for specific stages of the project. Liaison is also required to achieve the maximum accuracy for heighting. Other interface areas between photogrammetry and surveying include the use of scanned images, airborne GPS and the development of the GIS market. The author emphasizes that co‐operation will be vital for 21st century mapping, not only between technical disciplines, but also between the commercial, government and academic sectors of the mapping industry.
