Cartographic
Issues: Map Projections and Map Design
Geographic Information Systems use data that has often
been collected or compiled for cartographic purposes.
As a result, some critical cartographic issues must
be considered when dealing with GIS data and products.
This course provides students with a thorough assessment
of map projections and coordinate systems and their
significance when working with spatial data. Cartographic
design principles are also covered to provide students
with the tools to develop meaningful map products that
accurately and effectively communicate their information.
