Abstract
The Thematic Information Service of NERC has been active in the field of automated cartography for a number of years (originally as the Experimental Cartography Unit) involving many types of map and map-based output. This process has led to the development of many different methods of production, manipulation and display techniques. In describing the progress of two large and very different projects the authors hope to illustrate some of the many possibilities and, perhaps, pitfalls of digital cartography. It will be shown that digital map output can actually be put to a useful purpose and not become simply an exercise in collecting digital data.
