Computer cartography (also called digital cartography) is the art, science, and technology of making and using maps with a computer. [1] [2] [3] This technology represents a paradigm shift in how maps are produced, but is still fundamentally a subset of traditional cartography.

Digital Cartography covers foundational cartographic principles that are needed to make effective maps. lt explores such concepts as data, lettering, along with multivariate and uncertainty visualization.

2021年7月31日 · Digital cartography is a brand-new mapping technology that is developed and perfected with the extensive use of computer technology, graphics and image processing technology, network technology and spatial databases, as well as other related technologies in the field of cartography.

2024年8月23日 · Digital Cartography covers foundational cartographic principles that are needed to make effective maps. lt explores such concepts as data, lettering, along with multivariate and uncertainty visualization.

2025年1月13日 · Cartography studies the history of maps and mapmaking and interpretation of maps. Digital mapping (also called digital cartography) is the process by which a collection of data is compiled and formatted into a virtual image.

Now, digital maps show us the way with GPS and real-time traffic. We can interact with digital maps by zooming in and out with a touch. Paper maps required printing new editions for updates. But digital mapping has made it possible to get refreshed location data instantly.

The U.S. Geological Survey, the Nation's largest earth science research agency, has expanded its national mapping program to incorporate operations associated with digital cartography, including the collection of planimetric, elevation, and geographic names information in digital form.

with the help of digital technologies, cartography is transformed from cognitive and simply means of orientation into mathematical tools and methods of design, organization, management and planning. It is

1990年4月1日 · Digital cartography refers to the fast-growing subdiscipline concerned with the use of information technology in the making and use of maps. The texts by Monmonierb, Carter' and Burrough' provide helpful introductions to some established trends within this subdiscipline.

Welcome to digital cartography! This book was adapted from Penn State University’s GEOG 486 – Cartography and Visualization Open Educational Resource. In this book, we will cover foundational cartographic principles that is needed to make effective maps.
