Geographic information retrieval

Geographic Information Retrieval (GIR) is a technology that searches for and retrieves location-based information from large data sources. It combines traditional search methods with geographic data, allowing users to find relevant information tied to specific places or regions. For example, if you search for "restaurants near Central Park," GIR processes both your query and geographic details to deliver results relevant to that area. It's used in mapping apps, location-based services, and geographic data analysis, helping users access spatially relevant information efficiently and accurately.
