Explore the modern world of geographic information systems
 

From emergency vehicle analysis routing, to urban and regional planning, to scientific research--the potential applications of geographic information systems are enormous, with many more applications waiting to be discovered.
 

Now updated and revised, Michael DeMers's Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems, 3e equips you with a set of basic concepts and skills you'll need to solve everyday geographical problems, and perhaps even uncover new uses for this powerful technology. Rather than overwhelming you with details, equations, or computer codes, DeMers interweaves the ideas of geographic inquiry and spatial thinking, inviting you to join in the excitement of discovery as it takes place within the computerized world of the digital GIS databases.
