Summary
The aim of this subject is to acquaint students with mobile branch of
geoinformatics. MGT are a part of geoinformatics due to the availability of mobile computers, wireless communication technologies and due to the application of new techniques and approaches for gatehering, processing and use of data in the field.

Learners will get theoretical and practical knowledge in above metioned areas.
