A GIS stores, analyzes, and visualizes data for geographic positions on Earth’s surface. It’s a computer-based tool that examines spatial relationships, patterns, and trends in geography. GIS mapping produces visualizations of geospatial information. Rooted in the science of geography, GIS integrates many types of data. It analyzes spatial location and organizes layers of information into visualizations using maps and 3D scenes. With this unique capability, GIS reveals deeper insights into data, such as patterns, relationships, and situations.
