   A geographic information system (GIS) consists of integrated computer hardware and software that store, manage, analyze, edit, output, and visualize geographic data. [1][2] Much of this often happens within a spatial database; however, this is not essential to meet the definition of a GIS. [1] In a broader sense, one may consider such a system ...

   In modern mapping, a topographic map or topographic sheet is a type of map characterized by large- scale detail and quantitative representation of relief features, usually using contour lines (connecting points of equal elevation), but historically using a variety of methods. Traditional definitions require a topographic map to show both ...

   Computer cartography (also called digital cartography) is the art, science, and technology of making and using maps with a computer. [1][2][3] This technology represents a paradigm shift in how maps are produced, but is still fundamentally a subset of traditional cartography. [3][4] The primary function of this technology is to produce maps ...
