  1. Geographic Information System Many-a-times geographical data and the data related to space and character has to be analyzed for some techniques, processes, multiple technologies and methods. But there was no way to analyze the data needed so here a new concept was introduced called GIS (Geographic Information System). GIS is one of the concepts which analyze and capture geographic and spacial data and operation and organize the result in the form of table and charts. GIS Application and Software’s GIS applications and software’s are computer based tools used to store and edit special and non-spacial data, analyze the information and share the visual results in the form of maps. It is attached to various operations and applications related to engineering, planning, management, telecommunication, transport/logistics, insurance, etc. This application varies with the space, geographic analysis, area and visualizations. It provides the capability to relate previously unrelated information through the use of location as the key index variable. GIS has provided a new way for scientific inquires and studies to the person interested in this field and we can get data very easily using this concept. GIS mapping has the broad range of applications and software which involves the use of combinations of digital maps and georeferenced data. The software’s are organized in different categories. Some of the GIS mapping open source Software’s:- 1.GRASS GIS 2.gvSIG 3.ILWIS 4.JUMP GIS 5.Map Window GIS 6.QGIS 7.SAGA GIS 8.uDig Other open source GIS tools:

  2. 1.Capaware 2.Generic Mapping tolls 3.FalconView 4.Kalypso 5.TerraView 6.White box GAT Geospatial tools: 1.GeoServer 2.Map Guide Open Source 3.Mapnik 4.MapServer Notable commercial GIS software’s: 1.Autodesk 2.Bentley Systems 3.ENVI 4.ERDAS IMAGINE 5.Esri 6.Intergraph 7.MapInfo 8.Smallworld GIS as a Service Many suppliers are offering Internet based service to the clients known as GIS mapping services instead of downloadable software or data. These can be free, funded by advertisement or paid on a subscription. They are available in three areas: SaaS (Software as a Service) oArcGIS Online oCartoDB oMapbox PaaS (Platform as a Service) oArcGIS Online oGoogle Maps JavaScript oMicrosoft Bing oUS Census DaaS (Data as a Service) oArcGIS Online

  3. oApple Maps oGoogle Maps oHere Maps oOpen Street Map oMicrosoft Bing Maps Geographic Analysis Geographic Analysis is the important tool of GIS mapping software because it analyze the geographic component of your data. It compute statistical summary and provides the results in the form of charts and table from which engineers analyze the geographic locations and take accurate decisions for the same.
