• It easy to use.

Advantages of • GIS have general propose

GIS
solving application

• It can estimate the

availability of end user

 • Expensive software.

• The earth is round and

geographic error is increased
as you get into a larger scale.

Disadvantages of
• GIS layers, may lead to costly
mistakes when property

GIS agents interpret a GIS map,

or engineer's design around
GIS utility lines.

• Need to be practical for

some tasks and more data
input.
