and the use of the word tele and the selection of words that are less precise or
some of the choices are less standard.

present the workings of the tool, so the reader does not understand the function

COVER

A. CONCLUSION

Geographic Information System (English: Geographic Information System, abbreviated

as GIS) is a special information system that manages data that has spatial information (spatial
reference). Or in a narrower sense, is a computer system that has the ability to build, store,
manage and display geographic information, for example data identified according to its
location, in a database. Practitioners also include people who build and operate it and data as
part of this system.

B. SUGGESTION

Based on the results of this critical book review, this book still needs improvement both
in terms of writing, book form and grammar in it. To achieve the criteria of a good book and
as a source of information made by many people, the book this must present the theory that
there is no need to be telephony but use language that is simple but contains broad meanings
and meanings.
