INDIA CITY INSIDER MAPS

Geographical Information Systems: A Geographical Information System (GIS) is a composite of computer-based tools and methods for the integration of spatial data from many different sources and for the analysis, modeling and display of this data. It is well suited to collating data from such diverse sources as the census, government departments, topographic maps, satellite images and aerial photographs. It is, therefore, an excellent tool for the management of large bodies of spatially extensive data, with all the advantages of the computer environment - speed, precision, consistency and accuracy. GIS with its powerful techniques, methods and emphasis on visual data is the perfect tool to support decision-makers, including, among others, marketing professionals, environmental planners, telecommunication network designers and utility service managers.
