Chiyambireni kukhazikitsidwa ku 1959, ICA yakhala ikugwira ntchito ndi mabungwe aboma ndi amalonda padziko lonse lapansi, komanso mabungwe ena apadziko lonse lapansi, kuti akwaniritse zolinga zake. Ili ndi maulalo amphamvu kwambiri ku mabungwe opanga mapu omwe amapanga ndikufalitsa mapu a topographic, thematic, cadastral ndi hydrographic, ma chart ndi zidziwitso za digito padziko lonse lapansi. Kuphatikiza apo, imagwira ntchito ndi osindikiza mapu azamalonda otsogola, opanga mapulogalamu a GI system, ndi njira zapadziko lonse zosunga zosunga zobwezeretsera.
