In this work we give some overviews on how emerging technologies can improve the use and design of Geospatial Information Systems and Technologies (GIST). We present the issues in three points of views, namely hardware systems points of view, software systems point of view and data management systems points of view. We present opportunity of improvements using the following technologies such as 5G/6G in mobile GIST, cloud and big data in GIST applications, IoT (Internet of things) in data collection, AI in GIST, Cybersecurity for GIST security, Computer vision/ 3D vision in maps design.
