The similarities between GIS and maps is that they both look at the geography of the land and give use geographical information. They both use a grid to tell location in the form of latitude and longitude lines and they both use attributes to describe what the viewer is looking at. The differences between GIS and maps are that GIS uses layers of information for a specific purpose and can be interactive. Maps are usually two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional surfaces and are not interactive, printed on paper in a topographical style and created by cartographers.
