Hi,
Building a car is relatively straightforward also. First you put in a motor,
add 4 tires, install a steering wheel, and you are ready to go! Driving this
car would be like developing a GIS without understanding what a coordinate
system is, let alone 'projection.' (Of course in the article this was only a
lead-in line to a more complicated analysis of a couple of GIS software
programs.)
Regards,
Paula

Hi all.
GIS is more than create map. Some people confuse GIS and cartography.

Hi all,
Ran across this article this AM and noted with interest the following
quote...
..."GIS programs are relatively straightforward to use. First, you
create a map with different features -- points, lines and regions --
that are coded according to a map coordinate system"...
Interesting remark considering its targetted at the potential user.
Rather under estimated a bit though wouldn't you say??
