 What is GIS?
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based tool used to map and analyze features and occurrences. GIS technology integrates common database operations such as query and statistical analysis with the unique visualization and geographic analysis benefits offered by maps. These abilities distinguish GIS from other information systems and make it valuable to a wide range of public and private enterprises for explaining occurrences, predicting outcomes, and planning strategies.
