iGIS is a mobile geographic information system (GIS) software
that is built into iPhones. It extends mobile GIS functions
for conducting a wide array of scientific explorations in
the science classroom. These include remote-sensing images;
GIS maps such as rivers, land uses, forests, and migratory
bird routes; hotlinking video images; locator design; and
much more.
