Technology&more GIS Special Edition | A Publication for Geospatial Professionals

The growth of GIS has touched people around the globe. GIS has become one of the most flexible and widely-used sources of information today. Certainly, a big part of this comes from the expanding range of geospatial technologies that capture, process and analyze geographic data. However, the major driver for growth resides in the innovative ways that individuals and organizations are putting GIS to work. 


This special, GIS-focused issue of Technology&more highlights professionals and organizations that are using GIS to streamline the flow and use of geospatial information. For each story presented, there are countless other examples of how imagination combines with technology to transform the way we work and live.
