Trends in Cartography
The end of the 20th century is often labelled as the era of rapid development of information technologies. Nevertheless, maps still rank among chief and most important sources of land information. New technologies include the latest achievements of computer science and telecommunications and allow to link much attribute information to spatial data. New cartographical products emerge. The paper examines the main recent trends within cartography in this stage of development. All trends influence cartographical education, too.
