Geographic  information  system(GIS):  is  a  system  designed  to  capture,  store,

                  manipulate,  analyze,  manage,  and  present  spatial  or  geographic  data.  GIS
                  applications are tools that allow users to create interactive queries (user-created

                  searches), analyze spatial information, edit data in maps.


                  ArcMap    is the main application used in ArcGIS for Desktop for mapping, editing,
                  analysis,  and  data  management.  ArcMap  is  used  for  all  2D  mapping  work  and

                  visualization.
