Geographic Information Systems that offers a radically different way in which we produce and use the maps required to manage our communities and industries. A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system for capturing, storing, checking, and displaying data related to positions on Earth’s surface. GIS can show many different kinds of data on one map. Once the desired data has been entered into a GIS system they can produce a wide variety of individual maps, depending on which data layers are included. GIS maps can also use to show data about density and number. GIS` technology combines database, mapping and statistical methods to integrate georeferenced data into visual displays where the relationships, patterns and trends in the data can be more easily identified.
