GIS Division - City Mapping
GIS stands for Geographical Information Systems
Geography refers to anything that can be located in physical space, primarily those features on the earth's surface. Information Systems is a computer-based technology that stores, retrieves, edits, analyzes, and publishes geographic information.
GIS integrates computer hardware and software to store, edit, and manage data. It integrates data attached to specific locations, allowing us to connect where things are with descriptive information about those locations.
