ALESSIA CAMELLITI EXERCISE QUESTIONS CHAPTER 6 1. How do the conventional choropleth technique and the unclassed choropleth technique differ? The conventional chorophleth technique groups the data values into classes with an unique areal symbol; in the unclassed choropleth technique each value is symbolized by its own unique areal symbol. 2. When employing the conventional choropleth technique‚ approximately how many classes should you use? In the conventional choropleth technique you

for war or general education‚ cartography has developed over time in an astonishing way. While analysing the quote ‘Cartographers have strongly emphasised the visible‚ the tangible‚ the static‚ the physical and the historical values over the invisible‚ intangible‚ dynamic‚ human and futurist aspects of the world’ by Muehrke‚ I began to understand the graphic projections have a long history in creating visual representations. This essay will argue that cartography develops a better understanding

JUNE 16 2010 SUMMARY In this thesis the concept of performance cartography is researched in the realm of mobile mapping‚ an activity that has become more popular through enhanced technology. Specifically‚ the mobile Page | 4 application Layar is used to understand the changing relationship between the user and maps. Within this context‚ the performative will be investigated in two ways. Firstly‚ performance cartography is related to the act of mental mapmaking‚ where mapping can be understood

and very basic and inaccurate maps. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in Europe there was advancement in technology and learning that led to widespread exploration and trade among countries. The introduction of the compass‚ advancements in cartography‚ the printing press‚ and other inventions led to increased trade and exploration throughout Europe. Before the fifteenth century‚ sailors often didn’t venture far from what they knew because maps were extremely inaccurate and weather was unpredictable

In geomatics or geospatial science and engineering: Mapping usually refers to map-making and often used instead of cartography. Mapping term is also sometimes used for geospatial data collection or (e.g. LIDAR mapping) but in fact it is not mapping because a map is created through some cartographic works (i.e. determining the scale/level of detail and content of geographic or cartographic database‚ entry criteria and symbol specification for geospatial objects‚ generalization‚ layout design etc
