Cartography and Visualisation

Cartography has gained a new importance in relation to the visualisation of geographic objects and phenomena. Visualisation has been influenced in a positive way by the recent progress of computers and GIS. As a consequence, domains like interactive maps, data analysis or decision support made a big step forward.
