But did you know that GIS can be found and utilized in your everyday life even when we do not realize it. Picture this; you ask your phone to show you where the nearest restaurant or gas station is, to your exact location, and within seconds it comes back with numerous options for you to use. That simple act is actually the work of GIS. (PRNewsfoto/Control Point Associates, Inc.) The idea behind GIS is more straightforward than most people think; once you complete the task of asking where the closest location of a certain facility is, GIS queries all information about this business. If it is a restaurant you are looking for; the kind of food that is sold, what the establishment's ratings are, and/or the distance in proximity to where you are located, these are all attributes of GIS and is the data science of where something is located.
