The Benefits of Computer Assisted Cartography for Map Reading
نویسنده
چکیده
It may be maintained by some that a discussion of the benefits of computer assisted cartography for map reading is premature, and in fact, it may correctly be pointed out that the testing by cartographers of map reading abilities on computer produced maps has not even begun as yet in a systematic way. This state of affairs is especially true of the testing of map reading abilities on 'temporary maps' appearing on CRTs. On the other hand, some may maintain that the benefits for map reading of computer assisted production environments are obvious and that it is not necessary to take the time to call attention to them.
