GIS - Changing the Map Style
A geographic information system (GIS) is a conceptualized framework that can capture and analyze spatial and geographic data. GIS applications are computer-based systems that enable users to create, store and edit spatial and non-spatial data, analyze the spatial information output, and visually share these results via maps.
If you experience issues with GIS, you may refer to the additional documentation or contact the ITS help desk at 909-621-8061 or servicedesk@pomona.edu.
