I have read your notes on GIS keenly. My department of Geography, University of Yaounde 1, Cameroon is two years old in this sciences and technology even though students and lecturers as individuals have been exposed to these tools long ago. The notes gives an overall simplified view of our expectations on this domain. The knowledge gathered from the notes is very inspiring to novies even though the future of GIS is not highlighted.That is after GIS what next as was the picture before its discovery. Students and lecturers of my department and countrymen are just mad about GIS in their areas of specialisation and works but lack access to good and simplified material like these notes to go about it or discover more. Looking forward for more on GIS from your databank which may become our database. Thanks

It’s interesting to see that despite the widespread use of location in a lot of apps now, the actual understanding of what GIS as a technical field is still missing.

You make a great point about the difficulty in defining GIS – it is like trying to define IT in a nutshell! It covers so many things and has so many uses that its difficult to pin it down to one thing.

The number of uses for GIS data is constantly growing and I think with more location based services arriving on the scene we might see more comprehensive geodatabases giving us all a better and more complete picture of the world around us and bringing problems to the attention of the masses e.g. shrinking amazonian forests or melting ice shelfs.

I’m currently working on a GIS project and seriously… this site Rocks!!!
It nicely explaines the core aspects of GIS.
For a beginner, it’s good. But still leaves a lot to work upon for someone working the depths of the subject.
I just hope to see some more information regarding the subject in the near future..

Everyday life will one day rotate on GIS.
Because GIS soon if not now has the ability to explain the geograpical phenomenon and compares the past with the present so that the future will be predicted on easily.

GIS as a science tool gives us an idea on which measures we ought take in order to mitigate the likely adverse phenomenon as a result of our interaction with nature.
