Fundamentals of GIS

Franz Pucha-Cofrep

The use of geographic information in decision-making tends to go unnoticed, but it is actually present in many of our daily activities. By unconsciously selecting the route to work, the vacation route, going to meet a friend, going to a store using a smartphone and more, decisions are made that involve analyzing geographic information without being aware of it. When this type of analysis or decision making is carried out using computers, it is usually done through what is known as Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
