Others can then ask questions and answer those same questions with critical GIS. Or it can be used to find information which has already been answered.

It both differs and relates to other visual forms of media in that it allows information to be displayed in an easily understood form which can be combined with images and ideas. Thorugh the prosess you can creat not just a map but a means by which to express vast amounts of data that may be almost incomprehensible in any other form. Thus by practicing GIS you are convaying thoughts by mapping and comparing things via their 2D relationships with other things which may at times seem completely unrelated to one ather. <br />~CJB~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573164741101507184.post-1021471933976784092010-05-06T07:48:11.148-07:002010-05-06T07:48:11.148-07:00GIS has helped me understand more about how to map...GIS has helped me understand more about how to map things that pertain to may major.
