There are a number of free GIS systems out there. Never one to stop until I've gone too far I'm considering a GIS for my game world.

Still some elements make me think twice.

1) GIS systems help organize a LOT of data, much of it mechanically collected and the vast majority collected by other people. Will a fantasy world generate enough data to make a GIS useful.

eg. It might be fun to map out a town or two precisely but would you want to be responsible for mapping out all your towns?

2) If you could accurately map the devastation from a fire or magical calamity would anyone care?


What do people think. Would anyone go as far as a GIS for their fantasy world?

Have they?
