Example of GIS Application

A GIS application is a product or service, software based, using a GIS system. The best known GIS application is the Global Positioning System, used by practically everyone on Earth as a quick, reliable navigation tool. Other applications use a GIS system for specific purposes, usually based on a major GIS system but adapted to provide a service for personal or commercial use. These systems are evolving as advanced commercial tools, providing consumer information as well as geographic location data. Applications can also provide combinations of data sets like hybrid maps, including ranges of selected data on one map.
