Cartomatics

Cartomatics is an applied science methodological discipline completely concerned with inventorying, analysis, and communication of information that has spatial characteristics.  

What does a cartographer, a cartomatocist, do? 

Well, very simply, a cartographer makes maps. A cartographer will: 

• identify the need for a map,
• dream up or design a map,
• design a project,
• find the information that's needed to to prepare the map,
• manipulate the information and put it in map form,
• create the final graphics or assign the preparation of the final graphics to somebody else, a supporting technician
