And there we have it. Hopefully I've whetted your appetite and shown you just a few of the
many things GIS can help you with in daily life.
Remember that it's possible to buy mobile phones that have enough power to do this kind of
thing on a small scale, and there are database systems to support them such as SQL
Compact. SharpMap allows you to do everything from vector to raster maps and beyond.
Once you start looking further, you'll find that some systems have the built-in ability to read
GPS devices, enabling you to pull real-time location information into your apps. Go out there
and explore the world in both its real and digital forms. It's an adventure that's only just
started.
