Buyer rule
Start with the map workflow
Start with monitor count, resolution, map layout needs, imagery review, field media path, desk width, lighting, labels, and cable routing.
GIS monitor field desk
Set up the GIS desk around maps, imagery, field gear, and review
GIS work often jumps between maps, attribute tables, imagery, field photos, dashboards, documents, and exports. The desk should support display space, field media, labels, lighting, and repeatable project organization.

Risk
Avoid the mapping workstation mismatch
The common mistake is spending on the workstation while the daily GIS desk still lacks monitor space, field media organization, lighting, and clean transfer gear.
