This chapter starts by briefly describing the theory of geographic information systems. After that we present the interactions of geographic information systems with remote sensing and global navigation, J.A.

Gonzalez positioning, and satellite systems. This is done with the idea to illustrate how geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and global naviga- tion satellite systems work together in order to generate final products. Then, we
