Web Cartography

Written for those with a basic understanding of map making, but without knowledge of Web design, this textbook explains how to create effective interaction, animation, and layouts for maps to put online or into a mobile platform. Concept driven and product free, this reference emphasizes cartographic principles for Web and mobile map design over specific software techniques. The first of its kind to address map design and layout styles for Web and mobile mapping, this book includes many examples from the real world. Labs introduce students to software used by and freely available at most universities.
