GIS SOFTWARE DEFINITION (continued):
many uses: weather forecasting, sales analysis, population forecasting, and land use planning, to name a few. In a GIS, geographic information is described explicitly in terms of geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude or some national grid coordinates) or implicitly in terms of a street address, postal code, or forest stand identifier. A geographic information system contains the ability to translate implicit geographic data (such as a street address) into an explicit map location.
