From the Introduction:
The aims of this paper are two-fold. The paper seeks to provide
support for the ICA proposition that there is a need to redefine
cartography and maps. It then explores the various issues which may
either provide guidelines... Read More about Cartography, geographical information systems and maps in perspective.
