What is GIS? It sounds too technical!
- GIS is an acronym for Geographic Information Systems. It is an advanced technology which is map based and provides the ability to store and manage information related to map features. We have designed our software to use the power of GIS, without the any knowledge of GIS. It is as easy as using a map on an internet site.
