Why are layers (or levels) fundamental means of organizing geographic data in almost all GIS?
Geographic Information SystemsWhy are layers fundamental in GIS? Layers are used in GIS based on ease of use and data collection. If you think about the way most data is collected, layers make sense. Data is generally collected as a layer (i.e. a road survey collects data about roads, a vegetation survey collects data about vegetation). Layers

Lat/Long projection issues
Geographic Information SystemsIs lat long projected? Latitude-Longitude coordinates are not projected, they live on an ellipsoid. Occasionally, you’ll find lat-lon values referenced to a sphere instead. This ellipsoid is, however, defined by a coordinate reference system (CRS) which includes information like the size and shape of the ellipsoid. What projected coordinate system should I use? Your choice
