Ontario Gis Calculator

What is GIS?

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing spatial or geographic data. GIS technology integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.

GIS allows users to create interactive queries (user-created searches), analyze spatial information, edit data in maps, and present the results of all these operations. This technology is widely used in urban planning, natural resource management, public health, and many other fields.
