ABSTRACT
The rise to prominence of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is one of the greatest changes and challenges to the discipline of geography in recent years. This paper examines the conceptual and applied problems which have faced South African educational institutions in coming to terms with these advances. The role and place of GIS is outlined, a potential course is outlined, the need to take an applied approach is advocated and links with the business world are discussed.
