  4. History of cartography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cartography

    The history of cartography refers to the development and consequences of cartography, or mapmaking technology, throughout human history. Maps have been one of the most important human inventions for millennia, allowing humans to explain and navigate their way through the world. When and how the earliest maps were made is unclear, but maps of ...

  5. Cartographic design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartographic_design

    Cartographic design or map design is the process of crafting the appearance of a map, applying the principles of design and knowledge of how maps are used to create a map that has both aesthetic appeal and practical function. [1] It shares this dual goal with almost all forms of design; it also shares with other design, especially graphic ...

  7. Computer cartography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cartography

    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. [3] [4] The primary function of this technology is to produce maps ...

  8. Mercator projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection

    The projection found on these maps, dating to 1511, was stated by John Snyder in 1987 to be the same projection as Mercator's. However, given the geometry of a sundial, these maps may well have been based on the similar central cylindrical projection, a limiting case of the gnomonic projection, which is the basis for a sundial. Snyder amended ...

  9. Cartographic generalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartographic_generalization

    Cartographic generalization, or map generalization, includes all changes in a map that are made when one derives a smaller-scale map from a larger-scale map or map data. It is a core part of cartographic design. Whether done manually by a cartographer or by a computer or set of algorithms, generalization seeks to abstract spatial information at ...
