comment How do I explain what GIS is in a business context
The question never mentioned anything about ASIC designs, and it's hard to gage the scope of the question. We really need to know what type of business you're doing, GIS is similar to Excel in terms that you get out of it as much as you put into it. The short answer is yes, it's useful, but until we know more specifics, we can't give you more specifics

comment Are North Arrows Pointless?

comment Generate a kml file from Google results
although this method works fine, it'll only return the list of points with a label on them, i.e. the first 10 points. The second thing is, it'll display items outside of the region / state, which is not a real issue, but the first issue is crucial

So it's similar to my method, just with a different symbol, does the size need to be adjusted to zero?
