what is GIS ??
geographical information system - what you do with GPS
Err. Not exactly. GIS is information specific to a geographical region. GPS is a tool that merely provides you coordinates of your current location. You can use your gps coords to extract info about your current location from a GIS server. Most common is name of the location. Knowing your coords 31.62004 74.87638 does not really tell you that u are at the golden temple Amritsar.
