1. A method for improving cartographic data using utility data, the method comprising:
- obtaining cartographic information, wherein the cartographic information comprises existing map data;
obtaining geo-location information associated with a plurality of utility assets, wherein the geo-location information identifies a geospatial location of the each of the plurality of utility assets;
generating, based on the geo-location information, a cartographic representation of each of the plurality of utility assets with respect to the other utility assets and the geospatial location of each of the plurality of utility assets, wherein the generating comprises plotting latitude values and longitude values of each of the utility assets and associating each of the utility assets via generation of connectivity lines corresponding to utility installations;
comparing the generated cartographic representation with the obtained cartographic information; and
modifying, based on differences identified from the comparing, the cartographic information.
