Study Notes

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

  • GIS, or Geographic Information System, offers exciting new ways to use maps.
  • GIS combines a computer, specialized GIS software, a map, and relevant data for the map area.
  • Allows for quick data display on a map
  • Enables bringing up diverse data types together.
  • Facilitates identification of patterns and connections.
  • Aids in making quicker and better-informed decisions.

Key Questions for Understanding GIS

  • "GIS" stands for Geographic Information System
  • Software is part of GIS, allows displaying data very quickly
  • GIS depends on data, that is anything that can be shown on a map, including names, addresses or areas at risk
  • Data is shown in layers, with each having one theme shown on street maps
  • Data is linked to lat/lon
  • Zebra crossing example near school
  • Enables users to obtain latitude and longitude.
  • GIS is used e.g. crime-fighting and delivering parcels
  • GIS is different than paper maps, better in many ways and helps you track where your surname has spread
