You probably don’t give IoT sensors a lot of thought, but they’re all around us every day. Your car is full of them—telling you what the temperature outside is, when you're running low on gas, if you’re about to back into another vehicle, if you have low tire pressure; the list goes on. Even when you aren’t near your car, you’re still carrying around sensors inside your smartphone, such as a magnetometer (which tells the phone which way is north like a compass would) and a gyroscope (which tells the phone which way it’s oriented).

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are computer systems for capturing, storing, analyzing, and managing data and associated attributes spatially referenced to the earth. In other words, a GIS lets us visualize data on a map. Since it was first created in the late 1960s, GIS technology has grown exponentially. Today, there are many applications of GIS beyond what it was initially developed for, with GIS being used across industries, from real estate to agriculture. As it becomes increasingly accessible to businesses, both big and small, and more precise through rapid advancements in technology, the future of GIS is bright.
