Abstract
The most vital issues in multimedia cartography are not technical issues. Cartographic multimedia has great potential for human geographers and social scientists engaged in attempts to understand and represent complex human and social environments through space and over time. This potential can be realised if we, as cartographers, approach cartographic multimedia as a substantive method, with a conceptual and theoretical foundation, rather than as a technology in search of applications. In this chapter I suggest that the idea of praxis — an explicitly theorised practice — should underpin our approach to and understanding of multimedia cartography.
