The main techniques used in GIS are as follows:-

• Data Creation
• Relaying Information
• Data Representation
• Data Capture
• Graphic Conversion ~ From Raster to Vector
• Data Modeling
• Data Binding
• Cartography
• Geo-statistics
• Geo-encoding
• Geo-software

and many more.

GIS is practically a promising and developing field, which, in time, will be beneficial for the development of many other disciplines, including, business, criminology, national defense, public health, natural resource etc.
