Introduction

Welcome to the GISDATA.io docs!

What is GISDATA.io?

At GISDATA.io, our mission is to "Make Geospatial Data Accessible." We achieve this through Galileo, our powerful geospatial data search engine. Galileo aggregates data from thousands of sources, enabling you to search through hundreds of thousands of unique datasets in one convenient place.

Getting Started

Creating a free account on the Galileo platform is quick and easy. Once registered, you can immediately begin discovering data. Check out our guide on how to use the search engine effectively to get the most out of Galileo.

Understanding GIS Basics

Whether you're new to GIS or looking to refresh your knowledge, our GIS Basics section is here to help. Here’s an overview of what you'll find:

• What is GIS?: Learn the fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), including its definition, applications, and importance in various fields.
• GIS Data Types: Understand the different types of GIS data, including vector and raster data, and how they are used in geospatial analysis.
• Vector Geometry Types: Dive into vector data, exploring different geometry types such as points, lines, polygons, and their respective uses in GIS.
• Raster Data: Get to know raster data, including details on spatial and temporal resolution, and its applications in GIS.

Each of these sections is designed to provide a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand overview, making GIS concepts accessible to beginners and novices.
