Map technology (cartography)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The card technology covers all industrial processes for the production, reproduction and tracking of maps .
For the previous creation of the geometric fundamentals, see topographic map .

Currently, computer-aided technologies are used almost exclusively in cartography , while traditional techniques such as copperplate engraving and lithography are only found in the artistic field today. In the broader sense, terms of reprography and printing , insofar as they serve to reproduce cartographic products, also belong to the map techniques.
