The invention belongs to the technical field of geographic information methods and discloses a GIS data editing method which comprises the translation steps that a geometric figure needing translationis selected, an anchor point and an anchor point range are displayed after a translation tool is clicked, a finger clicks the geometric figure needing translation, and if the clicking position of thefinger is within the anchor point range, the anchor point is pressed, and a geometric object is moved; otherwise, nodes in the graph are reselected as anchor points, and the finger clicking positionis continuously judged until the finger clicking position is within the range of the anchor points. According to the method, surveyors can conveniently edit and correct drawn geometric figures on sitein field work, and the field work data editing efficiency is improved. According to the method, editing operation of point, line and surface graphic objects can be carried out through the functions of node movement, node addition, node deletion, trimming, line segmentation, surface segmentation, combination, public edge automatic tracking, cutting and the like.
