Fundamental principles and practical aspects of digital mapping. Cartographic concepts such as map scale, projections, coordinate systems, geodesy, control networks, geographic data processing, generalization, design, colour, and symbolization are covered in the context of the evolution of cartography and modern cloud-based mapping systems. State of the art mapping software is used in laboratory exercises and for the completion of a project.
