Advances in cartography: a review on employed methods

The creation of maps is the art and science of cartography, which has been a vital part of human history for millennia. Maps have been used to represent the world around us since prehistoric cave drawings through contemporary satellite imaging, assisting us in navigating, exploring, and comprehending our surroundings. Cartography has changed significantly over the past few decades as a result of technological advancements and the availability of data. Today's cartographers can produce maps that are more precise, comprehensive, and educational than ever before because to the availability of sophisticated technologies. This review article tries to give an overview of the most recent advancements in cartography, with an emphasis on the techniques that are used the most frequently. The following is how the paper is set up: First, we'll give a quick summary of cartography's history, highlighting some of the most significant turning points in the discipline. The influence of digital technologies on cartography will then be covered, with a focus on how GIS, remote sensing, and data visualization have transformed the discipline. The most popular techniques in contemporary cartography, such as GIS, remote sensing, data visualization, and web-based mapping, will next be thoroughly reviewed.
