Contemporary cartography is an interdisciplinary field that uses the latest technological solutions. It is a field that uses spatial data collected by both surveyors and other specialists, and then analyzed and visualized by geographers and experts in many other fields. Data is also crowdsourced, comes from various IoT sensors as well as from the monitoring of vehicles, ships and people. This data is increasingly exceeding previously unimaginable volumes and levels of complexity. They must be frequently processed and made available to recipients in real time. The recipients and users of cartographic products are not only people, but also robot-computers.

This makes cartography and geoinformation sciences take on a new meaning. The skillful use of digital technologies becomes a challenge. Cartography models the real world, creates digital twins, but also increasingly creates virtual worlds. Geographical analysis requires combining many different data sources, use SDI resources and VGI community of processing resources and using artificial intelligence methods. The basis is a variety of data of huge sizes.
