Abstract :
Geographical Information System (GIS) has been widely used to effectively access spatial data. The creation of GIS software can be traced back to the 1960s. This GIS software has gone through a lot of changes since to meet the consumer needs. Nowadays, there is abundance of GIS software products created and thus the need for them to be recorded in detail arises. This research aims to list the various GIS Desktop software products created since 1960s and explain their uses in GIS. This research paper will also be useful to other researchers to study the software updates and their applications in other fields.
