What is GIS?
'A geographic information system (GIS) is a framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing data. Rooted in the science of geography, GIS integrates many types of data. It analyzes spatial location and organizes layers of information into visualizations using maps and 3D scenes.'

Google Maps
Below is a basic Google Map. There is also a marker that was added to demonstrate I know the basic functions of how to build a web map and drop a pin using Google Maps API, in a web-based map. The marker has a simple label of "UWT" and is positioned on the University of Washington Tacoma. Zoom-in to see where the pin is placed!
What is Geospatial Technologies?
Geospatial technologies are systems that acquire and handle location-specific data about Earth. Remote sensing, the global positioning system (GPS), and geographic information systems (GIS) are important geospatial technologies. Remote sensing and the GPS are methods for collecting information about Earth's surface; GIS ia a mapping tool for organizing and analyzing information.
