What is Geographic Information Systems (GIS)?

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a technology that stores, manages, analyzes, edits, and maps various data types. It connects data to maps, integrating location data (where things are) with descriptive data (what things are like there). This helps users understand patterns, relationships, and geographic context. GIS is used to help people make data-driven decisions by improving communication, generating new insights, understanding problems, and solving them.
