Looking at maps is easy. Not really. You can glance at the Mona Lisa in a second. But to get the Mona Lisa you have to look more carefully. What do you see on the Voyager map? Words, lines, continents, a grid. A story, some information with the story. What do you notice first? Black lines, gray lines, white lines ... why are they different? Making maps requires that you answer such questions, and many more. Throughout this book, in nearly every chapter, we annotate The Flight of Voyager. By the end of the book, you will understand how to really see – and make – a map. 5 Making Maps is Hard Whether looking at or making maps, there is a lot to see, think about, and do. Throughout this book, myriad subjects are considered in general and in relation to The Flight of Voyager map. A systematic critique of an existing map or the successful making of your own map is accomplished by considering the following issues. When making maps, think about everything before starting; then, when your map is complete, reconsider them all once again. The Whole Map The Map’s Data Write out exactly what the map is supposed to Do the data serve the goals of the map? accomplish: does the map meet its goals? Is the relationship between the data and the Are you sure a map is necessary? phenomena they are based on Pressclear? Is the map suitable for the intended audience? Does the map symbolization reflect the character Will the audience be confused, bored, interested, of the phenomena or the character of the data? or informed? Does the origin of the data – primary, secondary, Look at the map in its final medium: does it tertiary – have any implications? work? Has the potential of a black-and-white Are the data too generalized or too complex, or color design been reached? given the map’s goals ? Is the map, its authors, its data, and any other Guilford Is the map maker’s interpretation of the data relevant information documented and accessible sound? to the map reader? Are qualitative and quantitative characteristics Look at the map and assess what you see; is it: Theof the data effectively symbolized? confusing or clear Have the data been properly derived? interesting or boring lopsided or balanced Has the temporal character of the data been amorphous or structured 2011 properly understood and symbolized? light or dark Is the scale of the map (and inset) adequate, neat or sloppy given the goals of the map? fragmented or coherent © constrained or lavish What about the accuracy of the data? Are the crude or elegant facts complete? Are things where they should random or ordered be? Does detail vary? When were the data modern or traditional collected? Are they from a trustworthy source? hard or soft Have you consulted metadata (data about data)? crowded or empty bold or timid Does the map maker document copyright issues tentativeCopyright or finished related to the data? free or bounded Is the map copyright or copyleft licensed? subtle or blatant flexible or rigid The Map’s Framework high or low contrast authoritative or unauthoratative What are the characteristics of the map’s complex or simple projection, and is it appropriate for the data appropriate or inappropriate and map goals? What is distorted? Given the goals of the map, are any of these Is the coordinate system appropriate and noted impressions inappropriate?

  • CV-35 - Geovisualization | GIS&T Body of Knowledge 04.12.18, 12:47
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 Geovisualization Cöltekin, Arzu ; Janetzko, Halldór ; Fabrikant, Sara I Abstract: Geovisualization is primarily understood as the process of interactively visualizing geographic information in any of the steps in spatial analyses, even though it can also refer to the visual output (e.g., plots, maps, combinations of these), or the associated techniques. Rooted in cartography, geovisualization emerged as a research thrust with the leadership of Alan MacEachren (Pennsylvania State University) and colleagues when interactive maps and digitally-enabled exploratory data analysis led to a paradigm shift in 1980s and 1990s. A core argument for geovisualization is that visual thinking using maps is integral to the scientific process and hypothesis generation, and the role of maps grew beyond communicating the end results of an analysis or documentation process. As such, geovisualization interacts with a number of disciplines including cartography, visual analytics, information visualization, scientific visualization, statistics, computer science, art-and-design, and cognitive science; borrowing from and contributing to each. In this entry, we provide a definition and a brief history of geovisualization including its fundamental concepts, elaborate on its relationship to other disciplines, and briefly review the skills/tools that are relevant in working with geovisualization environments. We finish the entry with a list of learning objectives, instructional questions, and additional resources.

But probably some government agency has published more-for Department of Geography and example, the CSGS has over 55,000 maps for the United States alone at the Earth Science 1:2.f,000 scale.

Actually it is none of these. The biggest mapmaker in history, putting out more maps than anyone else, is undoubtedly MapQuest, an as yet little known unit of GeoSystems Global. According to the trade press, MapQuest produces over 1.5 million individual maps per day (lnterncf World, April 6, 1998). It is one of the reasons \.vhy CP Editor Mike Peterson claims that the Internet sees the publication of as many as 10 million maps per day and leads him to say that the impact of Internet mapping "will like!~· be greater than that of the printing press" (Peterson, 1997a, p. 2). Despite this productivity, MapQuest does not carry the ''wciglit" of more traditional cartography. Undoubtedly, one of the reasons for this is that its maps are mostly basic street maps automatically generated from databases, are fairly poorly designed, and are at low resolutions.

Tyner When Arthur Robinson published the first edition ofElements of Car- tography in 1953, it marked a major change in academic cartography. Department of Geography Erwin Raisz’s General Cartography, first published in 1938 and revised California State University in 198, had been the standard text. Robinson’s book represented the – Long Beach metamorphosis in cartography after WWII and set the standard for the second half of the twentieth century. A review of the book’s contents [email protected] through its 6 editions reveals the prevalent thinking in cartography during a dynamic period in the history of cartography. Through it we can trace changes from hand-drawn maps to the rise of GIS and remote sensing. Although Elements is no longer the major textbook, its impact was enormous. This paper traces the history of late twentieth century cartography through the pages of Elements of Cartography. A content analysis of all six editions of Elements of Cartography was done to determine the emphasis on various aspects of cartography. An analysis of Erwin Raisz’s two editions of General Cartography was also included in order to note the changes in content and philosophy from pre-war to post-war cartography. Keywords: cartography, textbooks, Elements of Cartography, Erwin Raisz INTRODUCTION nyone who took a course on cartography, or who taught cartography in the last half of the 20th century, learned and taught the “gospel according to Robinson”, and the gospel was Elements of Cartography.

Current research, as well as the seminal early works on the geographies of health, will be reviewed. Geographic Information Science will be used in the laboratory exercises to illustrate the theoretical concepts and to produce worked examples of health geography. 3 credits, 4 hours Course Meets: Gillet Hall, Room 311 (classroom) Fridays, once per month, from 4:00 – 6:00 PM, dates as noted below.
