Let's talk maps!

"Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things"

Tobler's first law of geography

Maps = Collection of Geo data

Maps organize complex data about the environment.

Reveal patterns and relationships.

Maps allow us to communicate about location using a common framework

Power of Maps

Maps make sense of things.
They lend order to complex environments, and they reveal patterns and relationships.

Information may be infinite, however... The organization of information is finite as it can only be organized by LATCH:

Location
Alphabet
Time
Category
Hierarchy

Richard Saul Wurman, 1996

millions of bits of information on a single page. No other method for the display of statisial information is so powerfull.

Edward R. Tufte

Power of Maps

.. why so many relate to maps and geography is that we have no choice but to think and see spatially.

Allen Carroll

1854

Power of Beautiful maps

They stimulate both sides of our brain: the right side that’s intuitive and aesthetic, and the left side that’s rational and analytical. Maps are this wonderful combination of both.

Allen Carroll

Data Analyse

Exploratie & communicatie

There has never been more open data available than at this moment in time, and everyone from global NGOs to armchair hobbyists are using that data to create maps. [source]

Cartografie & GIS is geen niche meer:

Big data

Massaconsumptie

Open source sofware
