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 links information (attributes) to location data; such as people to addresses, buildings to parcels, or streets to city limits within a network.
  • As a mapping tool, a GIS combines layers of information to explain events, predict outcomes, plan strategies, and give a better understanding of a location and its surroundings.
  • A GIS can generate maps, globes, reports, or graphs depending on the user’s needs.
