global information system (gis)

Explanation:

• An atlas map is a collection of maps in a book and doesn't use satellites for location - pinpointing.
• The Global Positioning System (GPS) works by using a network of satellites to determine the precise location of a receiver on Earth.
• A physical map system is a type of map that shows physical features like mountains, rivers etc., and does not rely on satellites for location.
• A Geographic Information System (GIS) is used for creating, managing, analyzing geographic data but does not rely on satellites for pinpointing location in the same way GPS does.
