GIS software refers to applications like Esri's ArcGIS, QGIS, and MapInfo that enable users to create, edit, and analyze maps and spatial datasets. These tools let professionals overlay data layers (such as roads, land use, or population density) to identify patterns and support decisions in fields like urban planning, agriculture, utilities, and environmental management. Some platforms are proprietary and enterprise-focused, while others, like QGIS, are free and open-source.
