GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM - GIS

Picture
What is  GIS? 
A geographic information system  (GIS) integrates hardware,  software, and data  for capturing,  managing, analyzing, and displaying all  forms of  geographically referenced  information. 

GIS is computer  software  that links geographic information (where things are)  with  descriptive  information (what things are). Unlike a flat paper map,  where  what you see  is what you get, GIS can present many layers of  different  information.

GIS allows us to view,  understand, question,  interpret, and visualize data in many ways that  reveal relationships,  patterns, and trends in the form of  maps, globes, reports, and  charts.   A GIS helps you answer questions and solve  problems by looking at your data  in
a way that is quickly understood and  easily shared.
