[edit] Cartography
Main article: Cartography
Cartography studies the representation of the Earth's surface with abstract symbols (map making).
Cartography is an important function of GIS, because part of any basic definition of GIS includes output or representation. Every GIS software application will contain some interface of set of routines used for cartography.

Cartography
The discipline of map making.
Using the mapping capabilities of the GIS, we will explore the visual effects of design choices in map construction.
Cartography is the specialty that maps the Earth's surface in selected areas onto paper sheets (normally). A planimetric map shows locations and features on the surface that are at different heights above or below a reference (datum) plane.

So cartography is an art and science of trade-offs and guidelines for designing and choosing the least inappropriate projection for each purpose.
In cartography, symbols are everything. The very nature of a map as an abstracted representation of the Earth requires symbols to perform the abstraction. To not have symbols is to not have maps.

Inconsistent map projections can be a problem in many areas of cartography. Several of the articles on this site describe techniques for overlaying one type of data on top of another for the creation of terrain models.
In the 1970s, Automated Cartography was the rage (mapping focus). In the 1980s, Spatial Database Management and geo-query took center stage (data/structure focus). In the 1990s, GIS Modeling was at the forefront (analysis focus).

While cartographers have created maps for millennia, GIS provides new and exciting tools to extend the art and science of cartography.
These capabilities of GIS have given rise to new fields such as exploratory cartography and scientific visualisation. Visual presentation is one of the most fascinating aspects of GIS for communicating the results of analysis to policy makers.
The ability to change map scales and to overlay maps can be deceiving; the user must be aware of the imprecision inherent in all cartography and of the ways errors compound when map scales are changed or when maps are merged (Abler 1987).
This includes GIS and systems for remote sensing (Earth imaging), facilities management, automated mapping, cartography, navigation, and location services.
In data view, only one data frame is displayed at a time; in layout view, all a map's data frames are displayed at the same time. Many cartography texts use the term "map body" to refer to what ESRI calls a data frame.
