Customer Reviews

Excellent summary of cartographic knowledge needed for GIS.

A well-written book that summarizes much of what GIS users need to know about cartography. Far too many users of GIS technology fail to understand such basic concepts as map scale and projections, let alone knowing how to create a map graphic that effectively communicates with others. Anyone who is working in GIS, or thinking of doing so, and who does not have a working background in cartography should read this book. I intend to recommend it to students in our introductory GIS courses at Ohio State.
