In order to updating GIS database by GPS scientifically, reasonably and esthetically, the data of GPS and GIS must
be fused effectively. A data fusion algorithm based on map matching was presented in this paper. First of all, GPS
error buffer was constructed in the scope of GPS point, the data of GPS and GIS was fused according to the nearest
distance, the most similar direction. The GPS point after fusion was added to GIS database. The topological
relationship was rebuilt and database is updated. The simulated results show the data of GPS/GIS can be fused by
this algorithm and GIS database can be updated in effect.
