What is GIS:

A geographic information system (GIS) is a collection and manipulation of analyzed data, rooted in the science of geography. GIS integrates data types for spatial location, organizes layers of information, and develops visualizations using maps and 3D scenes. ​With its capability, GIS reveals deeper insights into data patterns, relationships, and situations, helping users understand the systems better and make smarter decisions.
