Abstract
This paper is focused on the point labelling of populated places for multi-scale mapping for the new state map series of the Slovak Republic (SR). The importance of creating new categories suitable for dynamic digital maps as well as the current state of the art is described. The proposed font parameters for the new categorizations are described along with a comparison of the current categorization. Furthermore, new label placement rules as well as the dynamic labelling model created for the populated places are described.
