The scope of geospatial data use is vast. It embraces every sphere or industry where geographical position matters. The list includes geography proper, ecology, tourism, marine sciences, agriculture, forestry, marketing and advertising, military forces, navy, aircraft, law enforcement, logistics and transportation, astronomy, demography, healthcare, meteorology, and many others. Here are some typical examples where geospatial technology is applied:

• Climate Change and Disaster Management –GIS technologies play a significant role in bringing together multi-disciplinary subjects to enhance situational awareness and provide actionable intelligence for decision support in mitigating, preparing, and responding to natural disasters.
• Earth Observation Capabilities: Earth observational studies are conducted using Remote sensing earth-observing satellites. There is a wide range of processes that can be monitored using Earth observation data like vegetation biomass, phenology, water quality, land and sea surface temperature, ocean salinity, and many more. It would prove to be helpful in forestry, agricultural, and disaster management applications in times to come.
• Healthcare – Recently, the healthcare sector has extensively used geospatial tools and dashboards to deal with the pandemic. During COVID-19, it helped healthcare professionals in monitoring contact tracing, containment zones, disinfections, migrant support, and so on.
• Land and Forest Resource Management – GIS technologies are regularly used to create survey infrastructure of Indian villages, develop maps, and generate accurate land records for rural planning. Similarly, forest departments also use remote sensing and GIS technologies to map the forest cover and in carbon stock assessment. It also helps in detecting forest fires and deforestation. This will strengthen the much-needed conservation and restoration efforts across the country.
• Societal Problems – Geospatial technologies and tools are actively used to address complex societal problems, including education, livelihood, financial inclusion, environment, ecology, natural resource management, etc. 
• Logistics - Geospatial technological tools are helpful in tracking goods and ensuring their quality.
• Transportations - Geospatial technologies are also used for identifying the location and time of arrival, route making, and navigation of the consignments.
• Meteorology - Geospatial technologies and tools helps in weather forecasts of particular territories.
• Agriculture - GIS technologies are employed in the agriculture sector for assessing the vegetational state of a selected area.
• Ecology - The tools are employed for tracing species populations in certain areas, in preventing and addressing calamities.
• Marketing and advertising - With the help of Geospatial tools, the advertising agencies target the ads for relevant regions.
• Real estate - Remote sensing technologies are used for visualizing and analyzing real estate objects remotely.
• Insurance - It is also helpful in managing risks for some specific areas (e.g., via historical georeferenced data analysis).
