What is GIS?
GIS stands for Geographic Information Systems. With the use of computer hardware, software, and collected data, it gives the user a
better understanding of that place by analyzing both the spatial data (such as the basic geography of an area) and specific features.
GIS combines layers of information about a place to give you a better understanding of that location. These layers might
include aerial photography, roads, streams, parcel layers, flood plains, etc.
