Pros
In simple terms, geospatial information is geography and mapping. It is “place based” or “locational” information. It is data tied to and portrayed on a map. Today, a map is no longer something you fold up and put in the glove compartment of your car.
Cons
Geographic data and information is defined in the ISO/TC 211 series of standards as data and information having an implicit or explicit association with a location relative to Earth. It is also called geospatial data and information, georeferenced data and information, as well as geodata and geoinformation.
