Summary
Imhof (1972) distinguishes ten different main map types. In the previous sections they have been organized into eight groups:
- Thematic maps using point symbols
- Network maps
- Area-class maps
- Choroplethic maps
- Point and area related diagram maps
- Line and vector related diagram maps
- Isoline maps
- Dot maps
Depending on the data and the message the map should transport to the map reader one or another
map type more is suitable for the visualisation.
