What is GIS?
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)is a technology that is used to create, manage,analyze,and map all types of data.
GIS connects data to a map,integrating location data (where things are)with all types of descriptive information (what things are like there).
This provides a foundation for mapping and analysis that is used in science and almost every industry.
GIS helps users understand patterns,relationships,and geographic context.The benefits include improved communication,efficiency,management,and decision- making.
