Book Description

Since the dawn of creation, man has designed maps to help identify the space that we occupy. From Lewis and Clark's pencil-sketched maps of mountain trails to Jacques Cousteau's sophisticated charts of the ocean floor, creating maps of the utmost precision has been a constant pursuit. So why should things change now? Well, they shouldn't. The reality is that map creation, or "cartography," has only improved in its ease-of-use over time. In fact, with the recent explosion of inexpensive computing and the growing availability of public mapping data, mapmaking today extends all the way to the ordinary PC user. Mapping Hacks, the latest page-turner from O'Reilly Press, tackles this notion head on. It's a collection of one hundred simple--and mostly free--techniques available to developers and power users who want draw digital maps or otherwise visualize geographic data. Authors Schuyler Erle, Rich Gibson, and Jo Walsh do more than just illuminate the basic concepts of location and cartography, they walk you through the process one step at a time. Mapping Hacks shows you where to find the best sources of geographic data, and then how to integrate that data into your own map. But that's just an appetizer. This comprehensive resource also shows you how to interpret and manipulate unwieldy cartography data, as well as how to incorporate personal photo galleries into your maps. It even provides practical uses for GPS (Global Positioning System) devices--those touch-of-a-button street maps integrated into cars and mobile phones. Just imagine: If Captain Kidd had this technology, we'd all know where to find his buried treasure! With all of these industrial-strength tips and tools, Mapping Hacks effectively takes the sting out of the digital mapmaking and navigational process. Now you can create your own maps for business, pleasure, or entertainment--without ever having to sharpen a single pencil.

3 out of 5 stars Interesting read, but obsolete at time of publication.......2007-10-10

I should begin by noting that while I am a competent programmer and geocacher, prior to reading this book I knew only as much about mapping and cartography as I could glean from episodes of NOVA and my childhood orienteering training. It is my suspicion that those more familiar with mapping technologies could make better use of some of the hacks in this book, so my review will be necessarily incomplete as I am not in a position to evaluate or even comprehend the more sophisticated hacks.

Perhaps the greatest virtue of this book is the introductory material toward the beginning that discusses some of the theory of mapping, geocoding, and computer navigation. Arguably I learned more from this material than from any of the more specific technical hacks.

For a great many of the hacks, however, the book is a victim of bad timing. While today (and even at time of publication) the Google Maps API is the de facto standard mapping system on the web, and Google Earth is certainly the best designed and most thorough free end-user GIS program, O'Reilly's Mapping Hacks makes no mention of either. This was a supreme disappointment for me and, I would think, anyone who was hoping this book could provide guidance for developing the latest and greatest Google Maps-enabled web application. If O'Reilly follows this with a new edition (which I very much hope they do) this major deficiency will obviously be rectified.

Some of the neatest hacks, however, are ideas that many of us have thought about in the backs of our minds but have never seriously tried to implement. These generally also do not depend on any particular mapping API, mitigating the foregoing concerns. I am particularly fond of Hack 16, which supplies the reader with information on a variety of useful geopolitical statistics websites, and Hack 62, which introduces Perl functionality I didn't even know existed and is instructive on mapping GSM cell sites. (After all, everyone has wanted a nice map of cell coverage just like in the TV series "24," right?)

Overall, I would recommend this book to those interested in learning what is possible to do with computer mapping, but who are also willing to go research more modern innovations to supplement the book's material. For those seeking more shake-and-bake recipes (as are frequently found in the excellent "Hacks" series), lobby O'Reilly for a new edition!

3 out of 5 stars Too bad I already knew most of this stuff.......2007-02-20

I didn't really get a lot out of this book. I took the title to mean that it had code for online mapping. Not so much. It was kind of fun to browse through, but not what I was looking for at the time. It's one of the reasons I buy most of my books at a bookstore instead of online.

5 out of 5 stars Great projects for exploring cartography.......2006-08-18

This book is a combination of tips and tricks that allow users to better use mapping tools that are already available and to understand how these various tools work. For example, there are explanations of why MapQuest got it wrong and how Fundrace was built. Most of the book takes advantage of free or open source offerings for the desktop and the Web.

The hacks range from those for beginners to those for with advanced cartographic skills. Some hacks are just introductions to websites. These include David Rumsey's website, Census' TIGER server and NASA's World Wind. Other chapters introduce online tools for changing decimal degrees to degrees/minutes/seconds, and for the experienced programmer, there are the tools to build a desktop application using open source PROJ.4. There are quite a few hacks that involve programming - PERL in particular - so to get the most out of this book you should already be familiar with PERL. The following is the table of contents with some comments on each chapter.

5 out of 5 stars Mapping Hacks: Tips & Tools for Electronic Cartography.......2006-07-25

It has hundreds of well explained options to handle cartography issues

5 out of 5 stars Not a textbook, but a great resource.......2006-03-25

This book was assigned as the textbook for a graduate class in cybercartography, mostly because the professor couldn't find a book that really addressed the topic. And while this is nothing like a textbook, it's a fantastic resource for anyone interested in internet or dynamic mapping -- and the information is relevant beyond this (perhaps relatively narrow) discipline.

It's cut into bite-sized pieces, and the bites are tasty and well chosen. The topics cover a broad range of material, from cool web sites I'd never have otherwise found to propeller-head "get under the hood and have some fun" stuff that you'd be hard pressed to find covered in a half-dozen other books.

This is definitely worth a look -- I'm going to keep this for years, and I KNOW I'll be using it for a long time.

4 out of 5 stars Designing Better Maps.......2007-08-09

An excellent book, but a bit tedious. Gives the GIS user an excellent review of what makes a map visually useful. GIS users aren't necessarily the best cartographers and this can help them along

2 out of 5 stars Descent for beginners.......2007-05-11

This book reviews the very basics of map design and hardly touches on cartographic representations. It is probably a good starting point for first timers to GIS and mapping, but for the average map maker/cartographer it is too rudimentary.

5 out of 5 stars Designing Better Maps.......2006-11-05

Since I am relatively new to the world of GIS Mapping, this book was an invaluable aid to designing more attractive maps. It's a beautifully laid-out book with lots of common-sense tips in it. Well worth the price!

If you analyze data and make maps, this is well worth the money.
It helps if you use ArcGIS too....

This book is the first one I would recommend to the typical GIS user wanting to make better maps. Some other reviewers have commented that many of the suggestions are basic; however, I have seen countless maps that could benefit from the design suggestions presented here.

Book Description

The World Wide Web has rapidly become a widespread means for the publication of geospatial data. It has earned this popularity since it is virtually platform independent can reach many users at minimal cost and is easy to update. More importantly, the web meets the increasing demand for customized geospatial data products. However, the visual dissemination of spatial data on the web creates special requirements for map design, and introduces new capabilities and pitfalls for interactive map applications. Web maps are first put into a broad context and specific characteristics of these maps are then examined from a user perspective. The various functions of maps on the Web are discussed in the context of the technical background and fundamental user questions such as what can be done with existing data. Web cartography also provides insight into the particularities of multi-dimensional web maps. Typical characteristics are explained clearly from the perspectives of static viewing and dynamic viewing. For each category, design considerations, based on cartographic principles, are discussed. Topics addressed include map contents, map physics and the map environment. Technical terms are explained where necessary. For several time-sensitive topics such as traffic, weather and tourism, the status and future of web maps are discussed. Atlases and national mapping agencies are also covered. The website http:://kartoweb.itc.nl/webcartography/webbook accompanies the book. It provides a dynamic environment for demonstrating many of the principles set out in the text and includes access to a basic course on Web cartography. The book and website provide a text for students and professionals in the fields of cartography and GIS. The series of chapters are written by different people but worked together into a single text.
