GIS Fundamentals

Aimed at readers with a knowledge of geographic information systems (GIS) but no formal training in computer science, this book provides a clear and accessible introduction to how GIS store and process spatial data. This updated edition includes two new chapters on databases and heuristics, substantial additional material on indexing and raster imagery, and revisions throughout that incorporate up-to-date applications such as GPS on mobile devices and Internet-based services.
