The slogan for this year’s Cartography Conference is “Playing with an open hand”, which is a play on words based on the masses of user-generated data we now have, with all the associated benefits, drawbacks and challenges. This is where cartography comes into play. We can handle vast amounts of data, extracting the key information. Maps have always been the go-to tool for scaling down and simplifying. Within this very broad context, we have a rich palette of methodical problems to tackle.
