4. Data Sources and Map Features

  • A GIS core can be built by acquiring digital data from a supplier, digitising existing analogue data, or carrying out one's own surveys.
  • The choice of data source is governed by the application area, available budget, and data structure type such as vector or raster.
  • Maps are characterised by a definite scale, symbols and colours, and an agreed coordinate system.
