The purpose of this article is to indicate the possibilities of GIS software in the subject of logistics and transport. Optimal locations for the construction of a logistics center in the neighborhood of the expressway S7 (section Ostróda - Elbląg) were determined. Using the GIS tools as well as geoinformation analyzes, a map was created depicting the results obtained. For the purpose of conducting the analysis, only selected criteria were taken into account, i.e. the distance from express, national, provincial and poviat roads, as well as distances from cities: Gdańsk, Olsztyn and Elbląg. The data was collected from available sources (Central Geodetic and Cartographic Documentation Center and OpenStreetMap).
