What is GIS?
A Geographic Information System or GIS is a computer system that allows you to map, model, query, and analyze large quantities of data within a single database according to their location. GIS gives you the power to:
- Create maps
- Integrate information
- Visualize scenarios
- Develop effective solutions
- Present powerful ideas
GIS is a tool used by individuals, organizations, schools, governments, and businesses seeking innovative ways to solve their problems. GIS stores information about the world as a collection of layers that can be linked together by a common locational component such as latitude and longitude, postal code, census tract, or street address. These geographic references allow you to locate features on the earth's surface for analysis of patterns and trends. Dozens of map layers can be arrayed to display information about transportation networks, hydrography, population characteristics, economic activity, and political jurisdictions enabling you to identify trends that may otherwise be hidden.

Use underlying demographics to estimate populations
Create pin maps by address, postal code, coordinate, and more for unlimited numbers of records
Determine drive-time or distance rings at any interval
Build custom territories based on areas, proximity, or drive time and determine demographic characteristics of the territories
Identify weighted concentrations of features and over- and under-served areas
Filter features based on location and geographic attributes as well as conditional data attributes
Determine trade areas and identify valuable sites
Customize feature styles, heat maps, charts, 3D maps, and more
Measure distances and find shortest and fastest routes
