Geospatial Analysis- A Comprehensive Guide

Intro and Terms

GIS software has been developed for many different uses. Some of these are so different from the common understanding of GIS that their distributers may not classify their products a GIS.  The primary use of GIS might be to solve spatial problems with maps created as “an incidental but essential part of their operation.”

I found it interesting that information to make a GIS map isn’t necessarily collected by the GIS researcher and can be compiled from other scientific studies or government information like property deeds.
