GIS Data & Services

What is GIS?

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a mapping system that uses computers to collect, store, manipulate, analyze, and display data. GIS technology works by linking information stored in databases to a place or location on a map. Since 80% of all information has a geographic component, the power of GIS can be widely used to support decision-making and problem solving across all sectors - government agencies, private and non-profit organizations and the public.
