Overview
QGIS for Mac (Geographic Information System) is advanced geospatial database software that allows users not only to create their own geospatial information with a wide variety of tools for visualization, editing, analytics, and publishing but also in-depth features for taking advantage of such geospatial data. This includes tasks such as analyzing the spatial patterns of specific areas to determine the best possible location for a specific retail service or viewing city-wide spatial trends for the planning of new travel routes, expansions of residential areas, and much more.
No matter if you are an ambitious business owner or a part of an organization seeking to expand its influence, Quantum GIS for macOS has the potential to reshape your approach to location planning, promotion and project management. Business users can especially take great advantage of modern geospatial databases, enabling them to quickly glance whether the desired area of the city or town and see the wide variety of data that may impact the success of that business, including pedestrian travel paths, presence of nearby competing businesses and even frequency of visits to various points in the area, all with in-depth tools for more granular data analytics.
Built as an open source package that was spun off from the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) project and licensed under GNU General Public License, users can access the full capabilities of QGIS for Mac on any modern home PC (Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, Windows (both 32-bit and 64-bit) and also on the go on Android smartphones and tablets.
With full support for numerous vector, raster, and database formats and functionalities, the software represents the best way for determining useful spatial patterns of a certain area.
