Maps
Maps are the geographic container for the data layers and analytics you want to work with. GIS maps are easily shared and embedded in apps, and accessible by virtually everyone, everywhere.
What is GIS?
A framework to organise, communicate and understand the science of our world
What is the History of GIS?
While the concept of spatial representation stretches back to early civilizations with maps and drawings, the modern era of GIS began in the 1960s with the rise of computers. Pioneering projects like Canada's CGIS laid the groundwork for capturing, storing, analysing, and visualising geographic data. Early GIS was expensive and complex, but advancements in the 1990s with user-friendly software, processing power, and remote sensing data integration led to wider adoption. Today, GIS is a cornerstone for numerous fields, and the future holds promise for even more sophisticated analysis, real-time data integration, and powerful decision-making tools through advancements in AI and machine learning.
How is GIS used?
Hundreds of thousands of organizations in virtually every field are using GIS to make maps that communicate, perform analysis, share information, and solve complex problems around the world. This is changing the way the world works.
How GIS Works
GIS technology applies geographic science with tools for understanding and collaboration. It helps people reach a common goal: to gain actionable intelligence from all types of data.

Data
GIS integrates many different kinds of data layers using spatial location. Most data has a geographic component. GIS data includes imagery, features, and basemaps linked to spreadsheets and tables. -
Analysis
Spatial analysis lets you evaluate suitability and capability, estimate and predict, interpret and understand, and much more, lending new perspectives to your insight and decision-making. -
Apps
Apps provide focused user experiences for getting work done and bringing GIS to life for everyone. GIS apps work virtually everywhere: on your mobile phones, tablets, in web browsers, and on desktops.
