Explore the modern world of geographic information systems

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.
