Gis?

Dear folks,

In lots of advertised conservation/countryside jobs, I frequently see, 'knowledge of GIS systems required'. What is GIS? All I have been able to find out thus far is that it stands for 'Geographical Information Systems'. What are these systems and how can I gain knowledge in them to improve any job applications? Am I just being a dimwit?

When I worked as a ranger a few years ago I never came across them.

Regards, Chris
