Feature objects are used to provide some GIS-like capabilities within GMS. Feature objects include points, arcs, and polygons. Feature objects can be grouped into layers or [[GMS:Coverages|coverages]]. A set of coverages can be constructed representing a conceptual model of a groundwater modeling problem. This high level representation can be used to automatically generate numerical models such as MODFLOW and MT3DMS. Feature objects can also be used for automated mesh generation. | Feature objects are used to provide some GIS-like capabilities within GMS. Feature objects include points, arcs, and polygons.

The Map module is often used as a starting point for many project. Often, a project starts with an image then, on a coverage, the [[GMS:Feature Object Tool Palette|module tools]] are used to create feature objects over the image to represent boundaries and structures. Then the feature objects are [[GMS:Map to Modules|converted]] to other data types for further processing. | The Map module is often used as a starting point for many project.
