Map4D can be used in e-commerce, tourism, construction, transport, agriculture, environment and natural resources, urban area development, and other areas.

According to Nguyen Trong Duong, deputy head of the Authority of Information Technology Application (AITA) under the MIC, the debut of Map4D is valuable evidence for the creativity of Vietnamese digital firms and IOTLink.
