GIS techniques may be used to identify all litter bins within five minutes walk of the proposed site of a hamburger restaurant.

Growth of GIS:

GIS has taken off in a big way over the past two decades. Moving from the realms of academic research, the technology was first harnessed to the needs of large, information-hungry organizations such as local authorities, environmental agencies, emergency services, and utilities providers.

More recently, GIS has leapfrogged onto the back of advances in desktop computing to find applications in every conceivable area of business activity. And it is here that the logic of GIS is impeccable, given that competitive advantage is ultimately about delivering the right product or service to the right place at the right time.

World-wide figures for GIS investment speak for themselves. Global revenues from GIS software sales alone are growing at an annual rate in excess of 13% and topped the $1.3 billion mark by 1997, according to research company
