9. What can the GIS do with the information stored in the computer.
A GIS can do more than just display maps. It can allow you to:
-
perform selections of information based on radii from locations (Mass Means Business)
-
overlay different types of data to produce increasingly complex, new information (Greenwood County)
-
select locations using a range of different ways of describing location (Environment Agency; Multimap)
-
provide information for use in other software (Environment Agency)
