Overview
QGIS (previously known as Quantum GIS) is a freely downloadable and open-source desktop geographic information system (GIS) application that provides data viewing, editing, and analysis, and creating maps. It is a software suite that has a popular desktop option, mobile, and web component. Similar to other software GIS systems, QGIS allows users to create maps with many layers using different map projections. Maps can be assembled in different formats and for different uses.
QGIS allows maps to be composed of raster or vector layers. Typical for this kind of software, the vector data is stored as either point, line, or polygon-feature. Different kinds of raster images are supported, and the software can georeferenced images.
With QGIS there are no licensing concerns as the application can be loaded on any computer. QGIS has a paid core of developers but also depends partly on volunteers. Furthermore, the application has a faster start-up time than ArcGIS.
