All about Cartographer
A cartographer is a person who designs and makes maps. They gather information from surveys, satellite images and existing maps, and then decide what to show and how to show it. Clear symbols, colours and labels help the map user find their way.
Modern cartographers use computers and geographic software to draw maps. However, they still need to understand the land, the people who use the map and the purpose it serves. Good maps are accurate, clear and easy to read.
