Geographical
information systems (GIS) are a family of
computer software tools that allow
information to be linked to a geographical
location. Information from maps is converted
into digital form and can be used to benefit
everyday life - from predicting houses in
danger of flooding to analyzing crime
patterns. GIS can even help a pizza
restaurant plan its delivery routes! Its
usefulness goes far beyond that of
traditional paper maps and GIS is fast
becoming an established and powerful branch
of information technology.
