Chapter 2. GIS

The term GIS generally refers to geographic information systems, which are complex computer systems for storing, manipulating, and displaying geospatial data. GIS can also be used to refer to the more general geographic information sciences, which is the science surrounding the use of GIS systems.

In this chapter, we will look at:

  • The central GIS concepts you will have to become familiar with: location, distance, units, projections, datums, coordinate systems, and shapes
