Dr. Narinder Kaur

Abstract :

 Cartography involves graphical representation of geographical features usually on a flat surface such as map. Maps are important tools to geographers as they help them to understand the various earths‘ surface features visually. Geography and cartography are interrelated disciplines dealing with the characteristics of the Earth‘s surface. These days, a cartographer does not have to work on paper as computers make electronic maps. Modern technologies have positively affected the scope and methods of cartography, data acquisition speed, data management and the rate of delivery of the results of data processing. Hence, there is need to review the cartographic curriculum to meet the demands of the current advancements in modern technology.  This paper will first reflect the changing face of cartographical techniques. Secondly it will highlight on the job prospects in cartography and finally it will focus on the need to review cartographic curriculum to meet the technological advancement.
