GIS mapping

GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping is a technology that captures, stores, analyzes, and displays geographic data to understand spatial relationships. It combines maps with data about locations—such as streets, landmarks, or environmental features—and overlays different information to reveal patterns or insights. For example, it can show where crime rates are higher, track wildfire risk zones, or plan new infrastructure. Essentially, GIS helps us visualize and interpret spatial information to make informed decisions about land use, resources, and planning, making complex geographic data accessible and actionable.
