5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent summary of cartographic knowledge needed for GIS.,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cartography: Visualization of Spatial Data (Textbook Binding)
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.
