Hidden in most data is a geographical component (GPS location, address, etc). Utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS), GCS analyses data by location, revealing hidden patterns, relationships, and trends that are not readily apparent in other conventional forms (databases, spreadsheets, etc). Being able to visualize information not previously visible provides you with the spatial intelligence edge.
