9. Computer cartography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cartography

   Computer cartography is one of the main functions of geographic information systems (GIS), however, GIS is not necessary to facilitate computer cartography and has functions beyond just making maps. [5] [6] The first peer-reviewed publications on using computers to help in the cartographic process predate the introduction of full GIS by several ...
