Basic functions of GIS Geographical Information System GIS Any successful example of GIS is based on two fundamental ponents: ? the map data。 and ? the puter software to perform calculations and analysis. Geographical Information System GIS There are many different anisations producing data for use in GIS。 and ? bining two or more datasets together is only appropriate if they have an equivalent scale of capture.

Not all the detail from the source map can be shown. Geographical Information System GIS Generalisation Sometimes it may be necessary to alter a feature’s true survey position slightly to make space for the map symbols. Furthermore, the thick red lines of an A road are shown much wider on the map than the actual road is on the ground. This science of smallscale map production is known as generalisation. Geographical Information System GIS Generalisation Geographical Information System GIS Be careful with scale ? Many GIS data products are created from generalised map sources ? The effects of generalisation will show up if this data is viewed against other more largescale mapping. Geographical Information System GIS Be careful with scale The generalised data is not wrong, it is just being magnified more than was ever intended. When you zoom in, the deviation of the simplified features from their survey position is apparent when the largescale data bees visible. Geographical Information System GIS Introduction 1.
