Great question Are you talking about G.I.S.: Geographic Information Systems?
G.I.S. is something that actually started with the army...given the use of weapons systems, individual infantry member/vehicle tracking devices and the general leaps forward in the science since its' first inception (I studied it at Uni ten years ago when it was really quite a new science) then it has never had so many usages...
Once the technology advances again, more uses will be found (there are hundreds now...)
