Abstract
The previous chapter discussed the development of integrated GIS in the context of large organisations and multi-functional systems. There are, however, very many users who are constrained by available resources to using low-end personal computing. This chapter considers the ways in which effective spatial information management may be achieved using low cost strategies.
