Use GIS Software to access Data
How do we use GIS at a Tool?• View data – build a quick map• Planning – overlay all types of
important data on a property• Comparison – visually compare
historic or other important data.• Analysis – analyze the best routes
for fire department, snow routes, etc
• Build reports• Aerial imagery
