Visual Presentation of an Electrical Network:

The second layer corresponds to the distribution network coverage. The low voltage system and customer supply points along with latitude and longitudes are overlaid on the satellite images and/or the geographical maps of an area.

• The further layer could hold equipment information, viz. poles, conductors, transformers, etc. Many of the electrical network or equipment has a geographical location and the full advantages of any network improvement can be had only if the work is carried out in the geographical context.
• The "attribute data" is attached to every of the entities using a backend "database".

GIS can be used to generates and visualize layered data sets. Data in a GIS are referenced to geography; they have real world locations and could overlay one another. This procedure gives an whole new perspective to data analysis which cannot be seen in a table or list format.
