A geographic information system differs from other computerized information systems in two major respects. First, the information in this type of system is geographically referenced (geocoded). Second, a geographic information system has considerable capabilities for data analysis and scientific modeling, in addition to the usual data input, storage, retrieval, and output functions.A geographic information system is composed of software, hardware, and data. The notion of data layer (or coverage) and overlay operation lies at the heart of most software designed for geographic information systems.
That could be a Geographic Information System. That could also be a GPS device.
A geographic information system can tie a digital map to a database. The geographic information system is called the GIS. It may also tie real-time photos to the map to help with things like GPS navigation.
