How GIS worksHow GIS works

•• In a GIS, different types of In a GIS, different types of information are represented information are represented as separate map layersas separate map layers

•• Each layer is linked to Each layer is linked to descriptive informationdescriptive information

•• Layers are combined to make Layers are combined to make a mapa map
