GIS stands for Geographic Information Systems and is a computer system that stores geographic data in a database. It integrates hardware, software, and data to capture, manage, analyze and display geographically referenced information. GPS stands for Global Positioning System and is a worldwide radio navigation system that uses satellites as reference points to calculate positions on Earth accurate to within feet or inches. GIS is primarily used to record and maintain large amounts of geographic data, produce customized maps, and allow analysis and comparison of location information.
