The GIS module allows manipulating ESRI type GIS data, such as shapefiles. If there is a license of ArcView 8.x or higher on the computer where GMS is installed, there are additional features available in the GIS module. It's not necessary to have an ArcView 8.x license installed to access the basic features.

The following table shows what features are available with and without a license of ArcView 8.x.
