Abstract
Visualization of spatial data is inextricably linked to maps. Maps are the ultimate tools to give insight in spatial relations and patterns. Maps are the result of the cartographic visualization process. This process is considered to be the translation or conversion of spatial data from a database into maps and map-like products such as those linked to multimedia, virtual reality or animation. During the visualization process, cartographic methods and techniques are applied.
