CAD
versus
GIS
Which is better for
Automated Mapping?
What is the difference between

Automated Mapping Systems

and Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) technologies?
Is there really a difference,
and if so, why do users
select one technology over
the other?

Initially designed to serve the generic need for
automating the drafting function

Early on, used as a tool for increasing worker and
organizational productivity in map generation &

Database model treats spatial information as
electronic drawings made
up of graphic features
organized into

layers

u
In early graphics systems, the data model was simple
and consisted almost entirely of symbolized graphic
features

Features were represented by a graphic symbol

In later versions, data became more intelligent
u

In graphic system software, map files (i.e., layers)

can be edited, manipulated, displayed, & generally
managed

Has evolved into more general
purpose map data
management tools

These tools have become particularly popular in the
automated mapping/facilities management (AM/FM)
u
Although automated map drafting & general
management of map information has delivered
significant benefits to government & private
organizations, general
purpose, spatial data
management requires a database structure & software
technology beyond the graphic functionality offered
by CAD solutions

GIS Technology Fills Gap Left by
CAD Systems
(1 of 2)
u
A GIS data model involves storage of tabular data
(attributes) in association with very simple
cartographic features (points, lines, and polygons)
u
Notice, cartographic data is stored as a table in
non

symbolized form and in

relation

to other
attributes
u
Purpose & use of these systems were primarily
focused on the entry, management, manipulation,
analysis, query and display of large collections of
spatial data
