A GIS expands the two-dimensional nature of a map to include information from a database. For example, a map can tell you where a river is located, but a GIS can show you where it is located and with the appropriate data layers can tell you what its average flow is, how clean the water is, how many people use it, or how close the nearest boat launch is.
