What is GIS
A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer
system for capturing, storing, checking, and displaying
data related to positions on Earths surface. GIS can
show many different kinds of data on one map. This
enables people to more easily see, analyze, and
understand patterns and relationships.
Use of GIS
Maps have always been used as source of information.
In computer age GIS has evolved as powerful tool for
representing geographical information with many
other uses.
