What is GIS? Component and Applications of GIS

What is GIS?

GIS, or geographic information systems, are computer-based equipment used to store, visualize, analyze, and interpret geographic data. Geographic data (also referred to as spatial, or geospatial data) identifies the geographic location of features.

These records consist of anything that can be associated with a region on the globe, or more in reality whatever that can be mapped. For example, roads, country boundaries, and tackle are all types of spatial data. 

A geographic Information system (GIS) lets in you to observe and explore everything about a place.
