The old mapThe new mapThe InterActive

Maps ( IAM) on the Internet (online, wifi)In October 2014, I visited the InterGeo

event in Berlin. While walking through the exhibitionhalls, I suddenly had a frightening split second about all the available software, uav’s, measuring-instruments, camera’s and GIS-systems, and I directly asked myself; Where is my privacy, who is using my own not released “free” generated data and where will this end ?

My BIG passion for maps;I travelled around the world from my childhood till now,My love for maps and their backgrounds made me a Cartographer and a data-miner,

Informative character of map and atlases,Collection of physical maps/atlases and an enormous digital DATA-base,Hoping for the biggest world atlas, Earth Platinum (EP), into de “Low Countries”.

Teaching the knowledge of the map to individuals & groups through MapvisionSlide4

Maps, from History till

Today.Topographical =

==> thematical (subjects) nowadays using DATA visualization.

Static ----> paper (platform), drawn/printed formatDynamic ----> <-

--- screen (platform), software format; zooming (less detailing)InterActive (IA) <-

Q & A

,

Definitions are “widely usable

”;

gradations and ranges are within a "sliding scale”.Static Map, Dynamic Map, InterActive Map ===> StatM, DM, IAM (Semi IAM).Old (topo)situation on an old (ancient, antiquarian) clay or paper map,The then current situation on an old (antiquarian) paper map,Old situation on a nowadays paper/digital/app map, The current situation on a nowadays paper/cloth map, The current situation

digital maps using infographics, texts/storytelling, stats, (sat)pics,Real-time situation on a nowadays digital/app map, (incl. time-delays),2D Map digital maps using navigation & distances,3D Map digital depth-maps (on earth surface),4D Map using time (sliders), sounds/noise, movement or else.Slide5

InterActive Maps need…..

DATA, lots and lots of Data, BIG Data!Free data: static + mobile + realtimeYour data: privateBought data:

government/institutions/organizationsLocal, regional, international dataBy all means !!!Slide6

The Map.

Many of us do have a “Hate – Love

” relationship to the map; Difficult visualizations bring incomprehensible information.Sender (Cartographer/GIS-technician) <==> Receiver (user)

At the end……

Interactive Maps (IAM) are:Informative, providing more and more global subjects,

Useful to create to get a better, safer & healthier society,Necessary in a fast growing (digital &

physical) world,Educational for scolars, students and professionals,Easy accessible (mostly) and

attractive for the eye.Sometimes a “once in a lifetime map”.ButAllways check your information for Source, Provider and the “Truth” before official use,Allways

use a second “opinion”, the more sources/data, the better !Slide27
