As GIS tools have become more sophisticated, as well as easier to use over the last few decades, GIS has become less of a geographer’s tool and more as a general tool that has enabled many to engage with its benefits. While there is nothing wrong with this, we should also not forget that the discipline of geography can offer major advantages to GIS specialists, particularly in understanding why data might be appropriate in addressing given problems.
