When you look at a map, you’re looking at layers of information that have been integrated together. Information about streets, buildings, vegetation, and other relevant data is combined, which allows people to see, understand, and analyse relationships and patterns.
A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system that captures, stores, verifies, and displays this data. Integrating GIS data provides a more insightful view of a location, which will allow users to more accurately compare the location of different objects to discover how they relate to each other, as well as make informed decisions on geographic planning. There are different types of data utilised in GIS mapping. We will discuss the different types of GIS data and how this data is used in different industries and technologies.
