Answer:

A GIS (geographic or geospatial information system) allows you to record a base map with a geospatial referencing system such as longitude or latitude and then to add additional layers of other information. Importantly that information is identified using the same geospatial referencing.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIS can be used to map all kinds of different data, including topographic, demographic, and simple geographic data. At its most basic, GIS is a mapping system that can be used for cartographical purposes.
