Wisely's GIS Yellow Pages


The key challenge for GIS in the 21st century is to map the World and Internet.  - Tan Chia-Li

It seems that Geography is a subject/topic/discipline .. etc and what have you. It deals with almost everything on Earth. A GIS also seems to be anything that contains some geographical element. Thus, don't be surprised that the list here contains more than what you have expected. The horizon of GIS is much much bigger. Possibilties are endless within the limit of your imagination, budget and heart put in. *hee*

What is GIS (Geographical Information System) ?

GIS is "a system for capturing, storing, integrating, manipulating, analysing, and displaying data which are spatially referenced to the Earth".

Every map is the sum not only of the cartographer's skills, but of the many explorers who win the territory in the first place.

A map is the greatest of all epic poems. Its lines and colors show the realization of great dreams.
