What is GIS and What
is an Interactive Map?
GIS --- Geographic
Information Systems. It is a computer system designed to allow users to
collect, manage, and analyze large volumes of spatially referenced and
associated attribute data. GIS is used for solving complex research,
planning, and management problems. At the City of Plano, GIS has become an
essential tool used daily to help solve problems, answer questions, and
analyze data. Now the City of Plano is providing this GIS information on the
internet with applications that have been developed to provide information
at your fingertips.
An
interactive map is an online map system that is dynamic in its capability to
respond users’ interaction by displaying different map content and/or in
different scale according to customer’s demand.
