A jargon-free primer on GIS concepts and the essential tech tools. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is the fascinating technology field that's all about understanding and visualizing our world. GIS For Dummies introduces you to the essential skills you'll need if you want to become a geospatial data guru. You'll learn to read, analyze, and interpret maps, and you'll discover how GIS professionals create digital models of landscapes, cities, weather patterns, and beyond. Understand how advances in technology, including AI, are turning GIS tools into powerful assets for solving real-world problems and protecting the planet. This beginner-friendly book makes it easy to grasp necessary GIS concepts so you can apply GIS in your organization, pursue a career in this dynamic field, or just impress others with your geographic knowledge. To use APIs in GIS, you typically need to write scripts in a programming language like R or Python. These scripts help you send requests to the API, handle the data it returns, and format the data for use in your GIS software. R and Python both have libraries — such as httr in R and requests in Python — that make working with APIs easier.
